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

open access: yesEmerging 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.

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

open access: yesBiological 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 ...

The epidemiology of a case of raccoon roundworm infection [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, 2000
Author(s): Murray, William J. | Abstract: The epidemiologic investigation of a recent case of cerebrospinal nematodiasis caused by the common raccoon intestinal roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) in an 11-month old child from Monterey County, California revealed a remarkable series of circumstances which led to the child’s infection.

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Microsatellite analysis of raccoon (Procyon lotor) population structure across an extensive metropolitan landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding population structure can lend insight into the spread of animal-borne disease, and the effects of anthropogenic land use on habitat. Raccoons are highly adaptive to human land development and can persist in a wide range of habitat types ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Molecular phylogenetics and species-level systematics of Baylisascaris

open access: yesInternational 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.

Baylisascaris procyonis prevalence in raccoons (Procyon lotor) and its relation to landscape features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are the final host for raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis). Raccoon roundworm is the leading cause of a dangerous neurological disease known as larva migrans encephalopathy.

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

open access: yesEFSA 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 ...
