Phylogeography of Baylisascaris procyonis (Raccoon Roundworm) in North America
Journal of Parasitology, 2021Sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene of 115 Baylisascaris procyonis individuals from 13 U.S. states and 1 Canadian province were obtained from 44 raccoon hosts to assess genetic variation and geographic structure. The maximum genetic distance between individuals was low (1.6%), consistent with a single species.

Raccoon Roundworm in Raccoons in Central West Virginia
Northeastern Naturalist, 2004Abstract We investigated the occurrence of raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) in common raccoons (Procyon lotor) in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia during spring (n = 9, April–June) and fall (n = 5, August–October) 2001 and spring (n = 7) and fall (n = 4) 2002. We found no evidence of B.

Human infections caused by the Raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis
Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2002Abstract Raccoons are the natural host of the roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis , a zoonotic nematode parasite capable of causing severe human ocular and neurologic disease. Although a rare human infection, baylisascariasis is increasingly being recognized as a significant public health problem, especially in young children less than 4 years old ...

SummaryBaylisascaris procyonis, the raccoon roundworm, is a zoonotic ascarid of importance to human and animal health. Wildlife rehabilitators who care for raccoons may be at an increased risk for exposure to the parasite, especially if proper precautions are not taken. In a wider effort to evaluate awareness regarding B.
