Measuring prevalence of raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis): a comparison of common techniques

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005
The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is the definitive host of Baylisascaris procyonis, a large intestinal roundworm. The prevalence of infection among raccoon populations often is high, and in the midwestern United States B. procyonis is documented in 68–82% of raccoons.

Phylogeography of Baylisascaris procyonis (Raccoon Roundworm) in North America

Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Sequences 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, 2004
Abstract 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.

Management of raccoon roundworm in free‐ranging raccoon populations via anthelmintic baiting

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2013
ABSTRACTRaccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a common gastrointestinal parasite of the raccoon (Procyon lotor), has been implicated in population declines of Allegheny woodrats (Neotoma magister). Medicinal baiting is a viable tool in wildlife disease management although unique challenges exist for pathogenic systems in which the host can be ...

Neural larva migrans caused by the raccoon roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2002
Baylisascaris procyonis, the common raccoon roundworm, is a rare cause of devastating or fatal neural larva migrans in infants and young children. We describe the clinical features of two children from suburban Chicago who developed severe, nonfatal B. procyonis neural larva migrans.

Raccoon Roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) Undetected in Endangered Key Largo Woodrat (Neotoma floridana smalli) Endemic Range

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2023
Raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) negatively affects woodrat (Neotoma spp.) populations but is not known to occur in the endemic range of endangered Key Largo woodrats (Neotoma floridana smalli). Rectal swabs from 23 raccoons (Procyon lotor) in Key Largo were screened for raccoon roundworm by PCR. All tests were negative, suggesting continued

Detection of DNA from the zoonotic raccoon roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis in a French wolf

Parasitology International, 2020
Baylisascaris procyonis is a zoonotic nematode whose main definitive host is the raccoon, an invasive carnivore in Europe introduced from the United States. B. procyonis causes larva migrans with poor prognosis in humans. This parasite was unexpectedly detected in France for the first time upon molecular screening of wolf faecal samples.
