Economic incentives contribute little to reducing agricultural damage from invasive non-native species: evidence from raccoon management in Hokkaido, Japan. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThis study reveals the nonsignificant effects of economic incentives reducing crop damage by raccoons. Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance

Trash Talking: Anthropogenic Resources Facilitate Raccoon Interactions in Urban Environments. [PDF]
Ecol EvolInteractions between conspecifics play a key role in ecological processes, and habitat modification, such as urbanization, can alter the spatial and social behaviors that underpin such interactions. Here, we used high‐resolution GPS data to examine how resource distribution affects raccoon contact in an urban greenspace in Brooklyn, NYC.

Radiologic-pathologic findings in raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) encephalitis. [PDF]
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol, 2000 A 13-month-old boy developed eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, retinitis, and a protracted encephalopathy with severe residual deficits. The initial MR examination revealed diffuse periventricular white matter disease, and follow-up images showed atrophy. Brain biopsy, serology, and epidemiologic studies lead to the diagnosis of Baylisascaris procyonis

Raccoon Roundworm Encephalitis [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004 The raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, is increasingly recognized as a cause of zoonotic visceral, ocular, and neural larva migrans and, in particular, of devastating encephalitis in young children. Exposure occurs mainly at raccoon latrines, where large numbers of infective eggs may be accidentally ingested. Risk factors for infection include

Geographic Variation in the Prevalence of Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) in the United States and Canada. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenA total of 167/394 (42.4%) raccoons were positive for Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis. Spatial variation was noted with higher prevalences in the Southeast region of the United States and in California. Ca. N. procyonis is widespread in raccoon populations, but the spatial variation in prevalence may be related to vector distribution or another ...

A modified method for molecular identification of Baylisascaris transfuga in European brown bears (Ursus arctos) [PDF]
, 2017 Baylisascaris transfuga is a roundworm that has been reported worldwide in most bear species. In mammals and possibly humans, the larvae of B. transfuga can migrate in the tissues of aberrant hosts with larva migrans syndrome.

LAND-USE EFFECTS ON PREVALENCE OF RACCOON ROUNDWORM (BAYLISASCARIS PROCYONIS) [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008 The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is the definitive host of Baylisascaris procyonis, a large intestinal roundworm that is zoonotic and can result in fatal or severe central nervous system disease in young children. Prevalence of infection among raccoon populations often is high, and in the midwestern United States, B. procyonis has been reported in 68-82% of
