  • Title: Epizootiology of an outbreak of cerebrospinal nematodiasis in cottontail rabbits and woodchucks.
    Author: Jacobson HA, Scanlon PF, Nettles VF, Davidson WR.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1976 Jul; 12(3):357-60. PubMed ID: 16498877.
    Abstract:
    An epizootic of cerebrospinal nematodiasis in cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) and woodchucks (Marmota monax) caused by Baylisascaris procyonis larvae followed the establishment of an ascarid-infected raccoon (Procyon lotor) population in a woodlot. Five of seven raccoons examined from the woodlot harbored ascarids, with one heavily infected animal shedding approximately 27,500 eggs per gram of feces. A laboratory-reared cottontail rabbit developed neurologic disease due to larval migration 80 days after infection with B. procyonis eggs from the raccoons.
