EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION OF THE RACCOON (PROCYON LOTOR) WITH BORRELIA BURGDORFERI

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 32(2), 300–314.

By: D. Norris n, J. Levine n, M. Menard n, K. Nakagaki n, P. Howard n & C. Apperson n

author keywords: raccoons; Procyon lotor; Borrelia burgdorferi; Lyme disease; Ixodes scapularis
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies, Bacterial / blood; Arachnid Vectors / microbiology; Borrelia burgdorferi Group / immunology; Borrelia burgdorferi Group / isolation & purification; Disease Reservoirs; Female; Fluorescent Antibody Technique, Indirect; Ixodes / microbiology; Lyme Disease / veterinary; Male; Raccoons / parasitology; Tick Infestations / epidemiology; Tick Infestations / veterinary
TL;DR: Based on the results raccoons may be inefficient reservoirs for B. burgdorferi, they may not transfer the infection to attached ticks and should not be considered as reservoirs for Lyme disease. (via Semantic Scholar)
