| baylisascariasis in raccoons from southern coastal texas. | two hundred and two baylisascaris procyonis were collected from 23 (70%) of 33 raccoons (procyon lotor) at three localities in southern coastal texas (usa). abundances of b. procyonis were similar among collection localities. the presence of b. procyonis in texas is confirmed, and this record considerably extends the potential range of baylisascariasis larval migrans in north america. | 1997 | 9249718 |
| baylisascaris procyonis in raccoons in texas and its relationship to habitat characteristics. | raccoons (n=590) were collected from october 1999 to august 2003 from 35 counties across texas, usa, and gastrointestinal tracts were examined for baylisascaris procyonis. we documented b. procyonis in central and eastern texas. baylisascaris procyonis occurred in 5.4% raccoons in texas with an overall mean abundance and mean intensity of 0.4+/-0.1 and 7.4+/-2.3, respectively. prevalence was higher in central texas ecoregions and on clayey soil texture than other regions or soil textures of texa ... | 2010 | 20688690 |
| distribution, prevalence, and genetic characterization of baylisascaris procyonis in selected areas of georgia. | baylisascaris procyonis is an intestinal nematode of raccoons (procyon lotor) that can cause fatal larval migrans in numerous species of birds and mammals, including humans. although this parasite has historically been absent in the southeastern united states, it has been found in isolated regions in the appalachian mountains and was recently documented in dekalb county, georgia. the first objective of the current study was to investigate the distribution and prevalence of b. procyonis in select ... | 2010 | 21158622 |
