Baylisascaris procyonis–Associated Meningoencephalitis in a Previously Healthy Adult, California, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
After severe neurocognitive decline developed in an otherwise healthy 63-year-old man, brain magnetic resonance imaging showed eosinophilic meningoencephalitis and enhancing lesions.

Baylisascaris procyonis: An Emerging Helminthic Zoonosis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Baylisascaris procyonis, a roundworm infection of raccoons, is emerging as an important helminthic zoonosis, principally affecting young children. Raccoons have increasingly become peridomestic animals living in close proximity to human residences.

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...

Baylisascaris procyonis roundworm infection patterns in raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Missouri and Arkansas, USA

Helminthologia, 2017
Baylisascaris procyonis is a helminth parasite of raccoons Procyon lotor and represents a health concern in paratenic hosts, including humans and diverse domestic and wildlife species. In North America the helminth is expanding its geographic range.

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Molecular phylogenetics and species-level systematics of Baylisascaris

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018
Nucleotide sequences representing nine genes and five presumptive genetic loci were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among seven Baylisascaris species, including one species with no previously available molecular data.

Food Subsidy Effects on Host Foraging Behavior Shape Host–Macroparasite Infection Dynamics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wildlife behavioral responses to different distributions of food subsidies could shape encounter and infection intensity of environmentally transmitted parasites. Using a mathematical model, we show that the way in which food subsidy changes transmission rate and variation in parasite burdens (e.g., through changes in time spent foraging and variation ...

Development of a qualitative risk assessment for meat from wild boar from a One‐Health perspective

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue S1, December 2025.
Abstract The focus on this EU‐FORA fellowship was to develop a qualitative risk assessment with flowchart as way of communicating the risk assessment transparently at each stage including the indication of data uncertainty and variability. Even though qualitative risk assessments are widely used, they do not always include uncertainty and variability ...

Human landscape alterations and land cover heterogeneity influence northern raccoon (Procyon lotor) site use intensity

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Northern raccoons (Procyon lotor; hereafter raccoon) are a widely distributed mesocarnivore that is common throughout North and Central America. Already the source of many human–wildlife conflicts, recent range expansions and abundance increases may cause additional management issues.
