Baylisascaris procyonis Roundworm in Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor), Mexico

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We found the zoonotic nematode, Baylisascaris procyonis, in a common raccoon (Procyon lotor) in Mexico. Expansion of raccoons into human-dominated regions might increase the risk of B. procyonis infections in humans. Increased surveillance and healthcare provider awareness of baylisascariasis in Mexico will be needed to prevent those infections in humans.
