Invasive raccoon (Procyon lotor) and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) as potential reservoirs of tick-borne pathogens: data review from native and introduced areas

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
In recent decades, populations of the raccoon ( Procyon lotor ) and the raccoon dog ( Nyctereutes procyonides ) have increased and adapted to peri-urban and urban environments in many parts of the world. Their ability to rapidly colonize new territories,

Divergent Cryptosporidium species and host-adapted Cryptosporidium canis subtypes in farmed minks, raccoon dogs and foxes in Shandong, China

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Cryptosporidium spp. are common parasitic pathogens causing diarrhea in humans and various animals. Fur animals are widely farmed in Shandong Province, China, but the prevalence and genetic identity of Cryptosporidium spp. in them are unclear.

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 ...

Population genetics, invasion pathways and public health risks of the raccoon and its roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis in northwestern Europe.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021
The geographic range of the zoonotic raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) is expanding together with the range of its host, the raccoon (Procyon lotor).

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

Detection and Genetic Characterization of Astroviruses in Brain Tissues of Wild Raccoon Dogs

Viruses, 2023
Astroviruses (AstVs) have been detected in a wide range of animal species, including mammals and birds. Recently, a novel AstV associated with neurological symptoms has been detected in the brains of some mammals.

Raccoon Roundworm Encephalitis [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004
The raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, is increasingly recognized as a cause of zoonotic visceral, ocular, and neural larva migrans and, in particular, of devastating encephalitis in young children. Exposure occurs mainly at raccoon latrines, where large numbers of infective eggs may be accidentally ingested. Risk factors for infection include

Rabies Management Implications Based on Raccoon Population Density Indexes

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2020
An estimate or index of target species density is important in determining oral rabies vaccination (ORV) bait densities to control and eliminate specific rabies variants.

First findings of Trichinella spiralis and DNA of Echinococcus multilocularis in wild raccoon dogs in the Netherlands

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2016
The recent invasion of the raccoon dog in the Netherlands may be associated with the risk of introduction and spread of zoonotic pathogens. The aim of this study was to assess whether Echinococcus multilocularis and Trichinella spp.

‘Raccoon eyes’ revisited [PDF]

Pediatric Radiology, 2010
A 1-year-old boy presented with 5 weeks of periorbital ecchymosis, without associated trauma. Contrast-enhanced head and face CT reveals extensive osseous metastases involving facial bones and skull with spiculated periosteal reaction along the orbital walls (Fig. 1, arrows).
