“…From Japan, four trematode, two cestode, twelve nematode and three acantocephalan species were reported [10][11][12]. Three trematode, one cestode and nine nematode species were detected in raccoon dogs in Korea [13][14][15]. Forty-six species of helminths were found in raccoon dogs on the territory of the former Soviet Union [16] and a comparison of helminth species in of raccoon dogs from Far-East of Russia, Volga Delta and Europe revealed a total of 54 species [17].…”

“…And some Korean workers have investigated (or surveyed) the gastrointestinal parasites in this species of mammals. Shin et al [2] detected 4 species of helminth eggs ( Toxocara sp., Trichuris sp., Capillaria sp., and hookworm eggs) and a species of protozoan cyst, Giardia sp. by fecal examination.…”

Present study was performed to describe the morphological and molecular characterization of Toxocara tanuki (Nematoda: Ascaridae) from Korean raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides koreensis, naturally infected in the Republic of Korea (Korea). Juvenile and adult worms of T. tanuki were recovered in 5 out of 10 raccoon dogs examined and the larval worms were detected in 15 out of 20 muscle samples (75%). Small lateral alae were observed on the cranial end of the body in male and female adults and 2 long spicules (3.0–3.5 mm) were characteristically observed in the posterior end of males. In SEM observation, 18 pairs of proximal precloacal, a precloacal median, a postcloacal median and 5 pairs of postcloacal papillae were uniquely revealed in the posterior portion of males, but the proximal papillae were not shown in the lateral ends of females. Molecular analysis on the 18S rRNA partial DNA sequences was revealed the same finding in both samples, adult worms and muscle larvae, which are closely related to T. tanuki. In conclusion, it was confirmed for the first time that T. tanuki is indigenously distributed, the Korean raccoon dog is acted as the natural definitive host of this nematode in Korea and the morphological characteristics of T. tanuki were shown in specific structure for single postcloacal median papilla in male.

“…6,7 Originally, raccoon dogs were distributed in the Far East, from northern Indochina to the southeast corner of Russia, including China, northeast Indochina, the Korean peninsula, eastern Siberia, Mongolia, and Japan. 3,8 Today, the species has been introduced widely to northern, eastern, and central Europe, in countries like Finland, Lithuania, and Germany. 1,4 Raccoon dogs host a broad range of parasites, including important zoonotic helminths such as Trichinella spp., Toxocara canis, and Echinococcus multilocularis.…”

“…They can also carry coccidiosis, toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, leptospirosis, rabies, canine distemper, encephalitis, mange mites, and tick infestations. 1,4,[6][7][8] In Korea, raccoon dogs are commonly sighted indigenous wild mammals. They also live in urban areas, where they can come into contact with humans or domestic animals.…”

This study examined gastrointestinal parasites of raccoon dogs in the Seosan reclaimed lands, Korea. We collected 882 raccoon dog fecal samples and examined them using a fecal flotation technique following standard procedures. Identification was based on the morphology and size of the parasite eggs and oocysts. Nine different helminth eggs and oocysts of Isospora spp. were identified. In total, 314 (35.5%) fecal samples were positive for gastrointestinal helminths or Isospora spp. Double (6%), triple (1%), and quadruple (0.3%) infections were observed. The rates of parasite infection in spring, summer, fall, and winter were 29.8, 20.7, 39.0, and 42.9%, respectively. These results indicate that raccoon dogs host diverse helminths and Isospora spp., posing a potential risk of transmitting parasites to domestic pets and residents in the area. Active epidemiological surveillance with modern molecular techniques and ancillary epidemiological tools is recommended.
