The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) as a reservoir of zoonotic diseases in Denmark

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Raccoon dogs have successfully invaded Europe, including Denmark. Raccoon dogs are potential vectors and reservoir hosts of several zoonotic pathogens and thus have the potential for posing a threat to both human and animal health.

Landscape-scale analysis of raccoon rabies surveillance reveals different drivers of disease dynamics across latitude. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
When raccoon rabies first invaded the mid-Atlantic United States, epizootics were larger, longer, and more pronounced than those in its historic, more southern, range, suggesting a North-South gradient in disease dynamics.

First report of structural characteristics and polymorphisms of the prion protein gene in raccoon dogs: The possibility of prion disease-resistance

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Prion diseases are fatal degenerative encephalopathies caused by misfolded prion protein (PrPSc) converted from normal prion protein (PrPC). Previous studies have reported that genetic polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PRNP) play a critical role ...
