Zoonotic Baylisascaris procyonis Roundworms in Raccoons, China
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To the Editor: Baylisascaris procyonis, an intestinal roundworm that infects raccoons (Procyon lotor), causes fatal or severe neural larva migrans in animals and humans (1,2). Globally, ≈130 species of wild and domesticated animals are susceptible (2). Infections in humans typically occur in children who have the disorders pica or geophagia and ingest ...

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.

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
