| raccoon roundworm eggs near homes and risk for larva migrans disease, california communities. | the raccoon roundworm, baylisascaris procyonis, is increasingly recognized as a cause of serious or fatal larva migrans disease in humans and animals. we assessed the potential for infection in three northern california communities by determining the density and distribution of raccoon latrines, where transmission primarily occurs, and the prevalence of eggs at private residences. we collected fecal samples from 215 latrines and found that 44%-53% of the latrines contained b. procyonis eggs and ... | 2003 | 14720389 |
| baylisascaris procyonis (nematoda: ascaridae) in raccoons (procyon lotor) in orange county, california. | baylisascaris procyonis is one of the common nematodes of the raccoon (procyon lotor), being well recognized as a cause of visceral, ocular, and neural larval migrans in many species of wild and domestic birds and mammals, including humana. between january 15 and december 31, 2000 in orange county, ca, 640 raccoons (p. lotor) were live-trapped in four spatial distributions zones, and b. procyonis egg shedding prevalence and fecal egg per gram (epg) counts were determined in relation to spatial d ... | 2001 | 12653152 |
| baylisascaris procyonis (nematoda: ascarididae) larva migrans in free-ranging wildlife in orange county, california. | baylisascaris procyonis is well recognized as a cause of visceral (vlm), ocular, and neural (nlm) larva migrans in birds and mammals, including man. a study of the prevalence of larva migrans in free-ranging wildlife associated with raccoon latrines as well as a retrospective study of wildlife mortalities with neurological disease was conducted in 2000 in orange county, california. eighty-seven birds of 18 species and 64 mammals of 8 species were found to have nlm or vlm or both. nlm clinical si ... | 2002 | 12054001 |
| baylisascaris procyonis (nematoda: ascaridoidea) eggs in raccoon (procyon lotol) latrine scats in orange county, california. | baylisascaris procyonis is the common intestinal nematode of the raccoon and is well-recognized as a cause of visceral, ocular, and neural larva migrans in many species of wild and domestic birds and mammals, including humans. to develop data on the prevalence of b. procyonis in orange county, california, 800 distinct raccoon latrine sites were sampled in 4 spatial zones from 15 january to 31 december 2000. counts of fecal eggs per gram (epg) were determined and evaluated with reference to spati ... | 2002 | 12053964 |
| diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis. morphometric, serologic, and epidemiologic support for baylisascaris as a causative agent. | several nematodes have been postulated as etiologic agents in diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (dusn), but the cause of this condition remains uncertain. the authors report the first case of dusn from the western united states (northern california), along with morphometric, serologic, and epidemiologic evidence supporting baylisascaris procyonis as its cause. | 1993 | 8233397 |
