Abstract

We analyzed 69 eastern Tennessee wildlife samples for Baylisascaris spp. during 2011. The prevalence of Baylisascaris spp. in raccoons (Procyon lotor) was 16% (8/49), an increase compared to previous surveys in this region. One Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) had eggs in its feces, indicating that opossums can play a role in Baylisascaris spp. transmission.
