Experimental Infection of Dirofilaria immitis in Raccoon Dogs
Journal of Parasitology, 2007Canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is a nematode that naturally parasitizes in the pulmonary arteries and the right ventricle of domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) as final hosts. Japanese raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) also are known to be susceptible to infection by the parasite.

AbstractJapanese raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) have been isolated from populations (e.g., N. p. ussuriensis) on mainland Asia for about 12,000 years. Since the environment and climate of Japan differ greatly from that on mainland Asia, different selection pressures have affected the two populations.

Reproduction in the Raccoon Dog in Finland
Journal of Mammalogy, 1995Reproduction in the raccoon dog ( Nyctereutes procyonoides ) was studied on the basis of 632 female carcasses in Finland in 1986–1990. In Finland, raccoon dogs usually mate from February to April, with a peak in March. Differences occurred both regionally and with respect to age, with older females breeding earlier than younger ones.

Prevalence of dirofilarial infection in raccoon dogs in Japan
Parasitology International, 2000The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) is known to acquire canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) infection. We surveyed the prevalence of heartworm infection in free-ranging raccoon dogs in the Nishi-Tama (Tokyo) and Kanagawa areas of Japan.

Growth and fur parameter variations of farmed raccoon dogs
Archiv für Tierernaehrung, 1985Growth, body composition and hair coat parameter variations were evaluated in farmed raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) reared in a conventional two animals -in-cage-system. Daily rate of body weight gain (BWG) of litters very significantly (p less than 0.001) correlated with their time of birth (r = 0.879); the later in spring they were born the ...

Hepatic biotransformation in farmed blue fox and raccoon dog
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1983In farmed raccoon dogs and blue foxes, the hepatic content of cytochrome P-450 and the activity of polysubstrate mono-oxygenase with benzo(a)pyrene and 7-ethoxycoumarin as substrates, as well as activity of UDP glucuronosyltransferase were of the same order of magnitude as those in the laboratory rat.

Phylogenetic identification of Cystoisospora spp. from dogs, cats, and raccoon dogs in Japan
Veterinary Parasitology, 2011Cystoisospora spp. from feces in dogs, cats, and raccoon dogs were isolated, sequenced at the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene locus and compared to other Cystoisospora spp. Cystoisospora oocysts from dogs and raccoon dogs were morphologically similar with those of C. ohioensis, and cat isolates were similar with those of C. felis.

Voluntary regulation of energy balance in farmed raccoon dogs
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 19881. Seasonal changes in body mass and voluntary feed intake were studied in juvenile raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides, Gray 1834) under farm conditions. 2. The body weight maximum was achieved in mid-November. Thereafter, body weight gradually declined towards summer.

Rabies risk in raccoon dogs and foxes.
Developments in biologicals, 2008Raccoon dogs are seen as a new host for fox rabies in Europe. Disease spread in a community of species can change the epidemiology of the disease and calls for new disease control strategies. This study assesses the risk of a rabies outbreak, introduced to a community of foxes and raccoon dogs in Southern Finland, as an example of the reintroduction of
