Baylisascaris Procyonis Characteristics
Adult Baylisascaris: *Female is larger 20 to 22 cm long. *Male 9 to 11 cm long.
Baylisascaris eggs: *63 to88m . Adult female Baylisascaris *115.000 to 179.000 eggs of worm for day (eggs of Baylisascaris).

Male
Adult Baylisascaris procyonis.
Baylisascaris Procyonis egg. Baylisascaris Procyonis.

LifeCycle
Eggs only become ineffective when: *High temperatures *Dry air
Eggs can survive in the feces and soil.
Epidemiology in Raccoons
Raccoons are native of North America.In North America an 80% of raccoons are infected.
The raccoons are inmune to the Baylisascaris.
Epidemiology in Humans
First confirmed case was in 1975 in Pennsylvania.
Two factors for risk of severe infection: Contact with infected raccoons, their feces or a contaminated environment. Geophagia (ingestion of soil).
Clinical Case Report
A boy of11-month-old.
Except for minor irritability, there were no findings on examination.
The patient was discharged with a diagnosis of a viral syndrome.
Serology Diagnostic
Serum andCerebrospinal Fluid samples were tested for antibodies against Baylisascaris by indirect immunofluorescence using cryostat-sectioned thirdstage larvae as antigen.
