\n Raccoons: Invasion on Four Paws\n <\/div>\n
\n Raccoons go through various stages during their spread in Germany \u2013 from initial occurrences to rapid growth and stabilization. There are particularly large numbers of the masked predators in northern Hesse and northeastern Brandenburg, where their spread has now stagnated. In other regions, such as southwestern Germany, the distribution is still in its early stages.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

\n Joint Parasitology Spring Meeting in W\u00fcrzburg\n <\/div>\n
\n
\r\nThe Joint Parasitology Spring Meeting took place in W\u00fcrzburg from 11.03. to 14.03.2025, organized by the German Society of Parasitology together with the Swiss and British Parasitological Societies. In addition to interesting lectures on topics related to parasitology, we also had the opportunity to present our own research of the ZOWIAC project with two poster presentations and to get in touch with many great people.

\n Raccoon Parasites Survive for Years in the Environment and Are Potential Pathogens\n <\/div>\n
\n The Raccoon Roundworm finds particularly favorable climatic conditions in Europe to persist. Given the continuously growing raccoon populations in European cities and global climate change, this could become a future health issue for both humans and animals.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

\n Damage caused by invasive species is underestimated\n <\/div>\n
\n Large-scale survey reveals the perspectives of various interest groups on invasive animals and plants. In a broad-based survey, researchers from Goethe University and the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt have investigated the views and perceptions of stakeholders in Germany on the topic of invasive species.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

\n Masked predators: raccoons are a threat to native amphibians and reptiles\n <\/div>\n
\n Raccoons in Germany use amphibians and reptiles as a food source. The invasive predators therefore pose a threat to the native fauna.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

\n As part of a study, over 2,200 people from nine different stakeholder groups in Germany with direct contact to invasive species were asked about their perception of IAS.<\/b> The number of invasive species was estimated approximately correctly in all groups, while the economic damage was underestimated.<\/b> However, all stakeholder groups regarded IAS as a problem and see a need to take action in dealing with them. Those affected should be made more aware of invasive species and the damage and problems they cause in order to develop effective management.

\n In water-associated nature reserves, 108 raccoons (Procyon lotor) were examined for their predation and potential impacts on native species. Stomach and fecal samples were analyzed to determine their diet. Additionally, the parasite fauna was recorded, as insights into further prey organisms can be drawn from their specific life cycles. Evidence such as common toads (Bufo bufo) or smooth newts (Lissotriton vulgaris), as well as parasites like Euryhelmis squamula, indicate that raccoons exert predation pressure on sensitive species, especially amphibians. Three parasites\u2014Hymenolepis erinacei, Physocephalus sexalatus, and Pomphorhynchus laevis\u2014were newly documented for raccoons in Europe.

\n In a new study, the effects of environmental temperature on the development of raccoon roundworm eggs were investigated. Living Baylisascaris procyonis<\/em> specimens were collected from the intestines of raccoons, maintained in a nutrient medium, and their eggs incubated at different environmental temperatures.<\/b> An increase in temperature accelerated the developmental process. The optimal temperature range for embryonic development was between 10\u00b0C and 30\u00b0C. Developmental abnormalities were observed when temperatures exceeded 35\u00b0C. The results indicate that the raccoon roundworm finds highly suitable environmental conditions in Germany.
