Geographic Variation in the Prevalence of Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) in the United States and Canada. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
A 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 ...

Baylisascariasis (Raccoon Roundworm Infection) in Two Unrelated Children - Los Angeles County, California, 2024. [PDF]

MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep
Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm), a parasite commonly found in raccoons (Procyon lotor), can cause severe disease in humans when it invades visceral organs or the ocular and central nervous systems.

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

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...
