 Baylisascaris procyonis in the metropolitan Atlanta area - Dispatches Emerging Infectious Diseases - Find Articles
Baylisascaris procyonis, the raccoon roundworm responsible for fatal larva migrans in humans, has long been thought to be absent from many regions in the southeastern United States.
Baylisascaris procyonis was first described from specimens recovered from raccoons in Europe (1), although the first report of raccoon infections with the worm came from New York in 1933 (2).
The prevalence of Baylisascaris is undoubtedly greater than the number of reported cases would suggest, and the fact that the full clinical spectrum of illness for Baylisascaris infection has not been clearly elucidated, further lead to underrecognition of cases.

 DNR - Raccoon Roundworm (Baylisascaris)
The raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) is the common large roundworm or ascarid found in the small intestinal tract of raccoons.
In the direct life cycle, eggs of Baylisascaris from an infected raccoon are shed in the feces and, within 30 days, a larval stage will develop within the egg (embryonated).
In raccoons, infection with Baylisascaris can be confirmed by recovering and identifying the adult worms (postmortem examination) or by fecal flotation (live animal) to identify characteristic ascarid eggs in the feces.

Because of young children's tendency to put their fingers or objects into their mouths, they are at risk if they play in areas which are frequented by raccoons.

 Real Cockatoo Facts!: Raccoon Roundworm Baylisascaris
Raccoons from the deep south tend not to be parasitized with Baylisascaris (i.e., southern Georgia and further south, but it's moving down there as raccoons are transplanted there).
The only way to truly kill these eggs is to subject them to heat (propane torch or autoclave), or to prolonged extreme cold that dessicates the eggs (not foolproof, though), or to poor a mixture of xylene and absolute alcohol over them (but xylene is carcinogenic and not environmentally friendly).
Basically, Baylisascaris acts as a roundworm parasite infecting racoons in the intestines; when the fertile embryonated eggs are injested by an unatural host like humans or other animals the parasite undergoes an unatural migration (larva migrans) in the unatural host to other parts of the body like the brain or visceral organs.

 Baylisascarisprocyonis
Baylisascaris procyonis collected from the intestine of a single raccoon.
The eggs must be ingested by a human or other animal to be able to hatch and release larvae.
When infective eggs of the roundworm are ingested by humans and other animals, Baylisascaris larvae hatch in the intestine and travel through the organs and muscles; this is called visceral larval migrans.
