| prevalence of baylisascaris procyonis in habitat associated with allegheny woodrat (neotoma magister) populations in indiana. | allegheny woodrat (neotoma magister) populations have been in decline across their range since the late 1970s. hypotheses proposed to explain these declines include habitat fragmentation and loss, decreased food availability, and increased mortality from infection with baylisascaris procyonis. we investigated the prevalence of b. procyonis at raccoon (procyon lotor) latrines in woodrat cliff habitats (n = 18) along the ohio river in southern indiana in 1995. we located 275 latrines (mean = 15.3/ ... | 2012 | 22493131 |
