  • Title: New information on the location of Capillaria procyonis (Nematoda: Trichuroidea) in the tongue of a raccoon (Procyon lotor).
    Author: Snyder DE.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1989 Apr; 25(2):294-6. PubMed ID: 2716115.
    Abstract:
    Histologic examination of the tongue of one juvenile male raccoon demonstrated the presence of adults and unembryonated eggs of the nematode Capillaria procyonis within parasite-induced tunnels in the stratified squamous epithelium. There was no inflammatory infiltrate within the epithelium or the subjacent lamina propria. The shape of tunnels approximated that of the resident nematodes and were lined by flattened and attenuated epithelial cells. Therefore, the site of infection of C. procyonis in the raccoon includes the oral, lingual and pharyngeal epithelium in addition to the esophagus.
