Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Economic incentives contribute little to reducing agricultural damage from invasive non‐native species: evidence from raccoon management in Hokkaido, Japan

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2588-2594, March 2026.
This study reveals the nonsignificant effects of economic incentives reducing crop damage by raccoons. Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance

Helminths in Invasive Raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Southwest Germany

Pathogens, 2023
As hosts of numerous zoonotic pathogens, the role of raccoons needs to be considered in the One Health context. Raccoons progressively expand their range as invasive alien species in Europe.

Baylisascaris procyonis larva migrans in two white-headed lemurs (Eulemur albifrons) in Spain and response to treatment derived from a human pediatric protocol

, 2015
Baylisascaris procyonis is a well-known ascaridoid nematode that causes larva migrans in humans and many other animal species. The North American raccoon (Procyon lotor) is the definitive host, which has been successfully introduced in the past decades ...

Human landscape alterations and land cover heterogeneity influence northern raccoon (Procyon lotor) site use intensity

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Northern raccoons (Procyon lotor; hereafter raccoon) are a widely distributed mesocarnivore that is common throughout North and Central America. Already the source of many human–wildlife conflicts, recent range expansions and abundance increases may cause additional management issues.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Zoonosis Caused by Baylisascaris procyonis

, 2012
The raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, is classified under the Phylum Nemathelminthes (the roundworms) and Class Nematoda. It is a member of Family Ascaridae and Superfamily Ascaridoidea, which represents intestinal worms with direct life cycles. Other, more familiar ascarids are Ascaris lumbricoides,Toxocara canis, and Toxocara cati, nematode

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
