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

Susceptibility of Raccoon Dogs for Experimental SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Raccoon dogs might have been intermediate hosts for severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus in 2002-2004. We demonstrated susceptibility of raccoon dogs to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and transmission to in-contact animals. Infected animals had no signs of illness. Virus replication and tissue lesions occurred in the nasal conchae.

Prevalence of Escherichia albertii in Raccoons ( Procyon lotor ), Japan
Natural reservoirs of Escherichia albertii remain unclear. In this study, we detected E. albertii by PCR in 248 (57.7%) of 430 raccoons from Osaka, Japan, and isolated 143 E. albertii strains from the 62 PCR-positive samples. These data indicate that raccoons could be a natural reservoir of E. albertii in Japan.

Zoonotic Mansonella ozzardi in Raccoons, Costa Rica, 2019–2022
Mansonella ozzardi, a filarioid parasite, causes human mansonellosis in the Americas. We identified raccoons (Procyon lotor) as wildlife reservoirs of M. ozzardi in Costa Rica. Noting the sympatry of free-ranging raccoons and humans, we conclude that mansonellosis is a considerable public health risk in the region.

Enteritis in raccoons (Procyon lotor) caused by an infection with zoonotic Salmonella and carnivore parvovirus
Background
The raccoon (
Procyon lotor
) is a potential carrier of a large number of zoonotic pathogens, and its population is increasing in urban areas in Europe. In the present study, we investigated two cases of fatal enteritis in raccoons in Germany. Parvoviruses are a common cause of enteritis in raccoons, however in these cases an additional infection with zoonotic
Salmonella
was found, which has not yet been described in other countries than the United States.
Case presentation
Two female raccoons, aged 14 and 18 weeks, were submitted for necropsy. Histopathology of the small intestine revealed crypt degeneration and necrosis, atrophy and fusion of villi, as well as numerous bacteria partially covered by fibrinous pseudomembranes. By microbiological culture of small intestinal samples
Salmonella enterica
subsp
. enterica
Serovar Kottbus and
Salmonella enterica
subsp.
enterica
Serovar Ferruch were isolated, respectively. In addition,
carnivore
protoparvovirus type 1
was identified in the small intestine of both animals.
Conclusions
The infection of raccoons with carnivore
protoparvovirus type 1
results in immunosuppression, which facilitates the spread of other pathogens. Both isolated
Salmonella
serovars represent a significant zoonotic threat for humans being in contact with the raccoon. Furthermore, in raccoons with sudden death a double infection with
carnivore protoparvovirus type 1
and
Salmonella
should be considered as an important differential diagnosis.
