MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2025.A total of 167/394 (42.4%) raccoons were positive for Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis. Spatial variation was noted with higher prevalences in the Southeast region of the United States and in California. Ca. N. procyonis is widespread in raccoon populations, but the spatial variation in prevalence may be related to vector distribution or another ...

Microgeographic Population Genetic Structure of Baylisascaris Procyonis (Nematoda: Ascaroidae) in Western Michigan Indicates the Grand River is a Barrier to Gene Flow [PDF]
, 2014 We developed eight polymorphic microsatellites from the parasitic nematode Baylisascaris procyonis. Amplification of these loci in a sample of 74 worms collected from 10 raccoons in Western Michigan revealed significant population structure.
