Abstract
Raccoons live in both country and city settings, and may carry diseases, such as Baylisascaris procyonis, an intestinal roundworm, without becoming sick. This parasite can infect humans and animals (such as dogs) when they come in contact with raccoon feces and latrines (areas where raccoons regularly defecate). Raccoon latrines are commonly found on rooftops, tree stumps, and wood piles.
