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

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

Pathological findings in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), stone marten (Martes foina) and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), with special emphasis on infectious and zoonotic agents in Northern Germany [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Anthropogenic landscape changes contributed to the reduction of availability of habitats to wild animals. Hence, the presence of wild terrestrial carnivores in urban and peri-urban sites has increased considerably over the years implying an increased ...

Receptor binding and structural basis of raccoon dog ACE2 binding to SARS-CoV-2 prototype and its variants. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Raccoon dog was proposed as a potential host of SARS-CoV-2, but no evidence support such a notion. In our study, we investigated the binding affinities of raccoon dog ACE2 (rdACE2) to the spike (S) protein receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 ...

Structural basis for raccoon dog receptor recognition by SARS-CoV-2. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, raccoon dogs have been suggested as a potential intermediary in transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to humans. To understand their role in the COVID-19 pandemic and the species barrier for SARS-CoV-2 transmission to humans, we analyzed ...

Molecular Evidence of Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) as a Natural Definitive Host for Several Sarcocystis Species [PDF]

Pathogens
Sarcocystis parasites infect a wide range of animals, including reptiles, birds, and mammals, and have complex two-host prey–predator life cycle. Sarcocysts are mainly found in the muscles of intermediate hosts, and oocysts sporulate in the intestines of
