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.

Using DNA metabarcoding and a novel canid-specific blocking oligonucleotide to investigate the composition of animal diets of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) inhabiting the waterside area in Korea.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) is known to be an opportunistic generalist who feeds on a wide variety of foods. Historically, their diet has been investigated by morphological observation of undigested remains in feces, requiring specialized ...

Age determination of the raccoon dog in Finland [PDF]

Acta Theriologica, 1990
We compared the age determination using the relative width of the pulp cavity in the lower canines and the one using the ossification stage of the epiphyseal cartilage of the radius and ulna with the most reliable method, namely, that based on the incremental lines in the tooth cementum in order to find a quick and reliable method for identifying young

Self -Assembled Raccoon Dog Parvovirus VP2 Protein Confers Immunity Against RDPV Disease in Raccoon Dogs: In Vitro and in Vivo Studies [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2021
Abstract Background: Raccoon dog parvovirus (RDPV) causes acute infectious diseases in raccoon dogs and may cause death in severe cases. Current treatment strategy relies on the extensive usage of classical inactivated vaccine which is marred by large doses, short immunization cycles and safety concerns.Methods: The present study aimed at ...

De novo Genome Assembly of the Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides (NCBI Taxonomy ID: 34880, Figure 1a) belongs to the family Canidae, with foxes (genus Vulpes) being their closest relatives (Lindblad-Toh et al., 2005; Sun et al., 2019). Its original distribution in East Asia ranges from south-eastern Siberia to northern Vietnam and the Japanese islands.

First record of Giardia assemblage D infection in farmed raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides)

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2016
The presence of Giardia genotypes was investigated in 18 raccoon dogs ( Nyctereutes procyonoides ) and 80 red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) on one farm. To demonstrate Giardia cysts, fresh and trichrome stained smears were microscopically screened.

Severe hydrocephalus in a raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides).

The Journal of veterinary medical science, 2021
Hydrocephalus is one of the most common central nervous system malformations in domestic dogs, yet they are poorly documented and studied in wild carnivoran mammals. A pup of raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) was rescued and brought to Wildlife Center. The pup showed generalized ataxia, a domed skull, and an open bregmatic fontanelle.

First detection and phylogenetic analysis of porcine circovirus type 2 in raccoon dogs

BMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a major emerging virus of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD), which has brought huge economic losses to the global pig industry. Pigs are well known as the natural reservoir of PCV2.
