Trichinella spp. biomass has increased in raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Estonia [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Raccoon dogs and red foxes are well-adapted hosts for Trichinella spp. The aims of this study were to estimate Trichinella infection prevalence and biomass and to investigate which Trichinella species circulated in these indicator hosts in ...

Diet of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Danish wetlands with focus on ground-nesting birds and amphibians

Zeitschrift f\ ur Jagdwissenschaft
In European countries, raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) are believed to impact ecosystems and potentially threaten native species. In this study, the stomachs of 525 raccoon dogs culled in Danish wetlands were analysed and compared to 53 stomachs ...

Role of invasive carnivores (Procyon lotor and Nyctereutes procyonoides) in epidemiology of vector-borne pathogens: molecular survey from the Czech Republic

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) are a major threat to humans, livestock and companion animals worldwide. The combined effect of climatic, socioeconomic and host composition changes favours the spread of the vectors, together with the expansion ...

The chromosome-scale genome of the raccoon dog: Insights into its evolutionary characteristics

iScience, 2022
Summary: The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) is an invasive canid species native to East Asia with several distinct characteristics. Here, we report a chromosome-scale genome of the raccoon dog with high contiguity, completeness, and accuracy. The

Seasonal Physiology of the Wild Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) [PDF]

Zoological Science, 2004
The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) is a canid omnivore with autumnal fattening and winter sleep. Farmraised raccoon dogs have elevated plasma leptin and growth hormone levels in the winter and depressed plasma cortisol and insulin concentrations during wintertime food deprivation. However, these parameters were not previously tested in the wild

Winter Track Survey of the Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia 俄罗斯滨海边疆区西南部东北虎 (Panthera tigris altaica) 冬季足迹调查

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In the winter of 2021/2022, a winter track survey revealed 43–46 tigers (without cubs) in 5.4 thousand km2 of suitable habitats in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia. In the same period, a network of camera traps registered 54 adult/subadult tigers here.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the raccoon dogs (Canidae: Nyctereutes ussurienusis) and intraspecific comparison of three Asian raccoon dogs

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession number: MG256392) of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes ussurienusis) farmed in Northeast China and compared it with two previously published mitogenomes, one mitogenome of wild raccoon dog ...

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.
