Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

Evaluation of the marking duration of iophenoxic acid (IPA) derivatives in raccoons (Procyon lotor)
We evaluated the marking duration and intensity of iophenoxic acid (IPA) analogues in raccoon (Procyon lotor) serum following consumption of test doses encapsulated in a marshmallow or formulated into an oral rabies vaccine bait matrix. The IPA biomarkers demonstrated utility for evaluation of oral rabies vaccination baiting strategies targeting ...
