“…Gross and histologic findings in wild raccoons were similar to findings in wild raccoons from this region and in the literature (Church et al., 2018 ). There were no lesions suggestive of SARS‐CoV‐2 pneumonia.…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has a worldwide distribution in humans and many other mammalian species. In late September 2021, 12 animals maintained by the Chicago Zoological Society's Brookfield Zoo were observed with variable clinical signs. The Delta variant of SARS‐CoV‐2 was detected in faeces and nasal swabs by qRT‐PCR, including the first detection in animals from the families Procyonidae and Viverridae. Test positivity rate was 12.5% for 35 animals tested. All animals had been vaccinated with at least one dose of a recombinant vaccine designed for animals and all recovered with variable supportive treatment. Sequence analysis showed that six zoo animal strains were closely correlated with 18 human SARS‐CoV‐2 strains, suggestive of potential human‐to‐animal transmission events. This report documents the expanding host range of COVID‐19 during the ongoing pandemic.

“…That is why authors suggest that a definitive diagnosis for CPV should include serology, necropsy with histopathology, and immunohistochemistry (7,25,26). Necropsy findings in animals suffering from parvoviral enteritis, especially those with fatal outcomes like those in the current study, generally include necrohemorrhagic enteritis with extensive necrosis of intestinal gland epithelium, lymphoid depletion (lymphopenia), and lymphoid necrosis (20,21,22,27). According to Meunier et al (19,22), the virus infection in the mesenteric lymph nodes precedes that of the intestinal epithelial and intestinal lymphoid tissue infection.…”

There is little data on the use of the immunohistochemical method in the observation of the T lymphocytes and macrophages distribution within the mesenteric lymph nodes in canine parvovirus (CPV) enteritis. The virus initially replicates in the systemic lymphoid tissue and causes highest changes in the small intestine. This current study aimed to demonstrate the CD3 and MAC387 antibodies detection and distribution in mesenteric lymph nodes and small intestines in dogs which had positive clinical, pathological, and histological findings of CPV. Twenty dogs that were clinically confirmed on CPV, had been autopsied following onset of death. Tissue samples (lymph nodes and small intestines) from each dog was processed for histology and immunohistochemistry utilizing hematoxylin-eosin and peroxidase/DAB (3,3′-diaminobenzidine) staining methods, respectively. The virus distribution was greatest in the tissue areas of the small intestine and the lymph nodes where the virus had made the most severe tissue damage. The distribution of macrophage was highest in the necrotic areas of the small intestine and the mesenteric lymph nodes. The amount of CD3 positive lymphocytes was greatly reduced in the mesenteric lymph nodes and the lymphoid tissue of the small intestine.

“…Nevertheless, raccoon dogs are susceptible to disease, as in a raccoon dog from Japan leptospiral mengingoencephalitis was diagnosed with the histologic sections of the kidneys revealing diffuse lymphoplasmacytic interstitial nephritis [ 18 ]. Raccoons are also susceptible to disease and may not only serve as asymptomatic reservoirs, as interstitial nephritis was found histologically in raccoons originating from Germany, including in the present study and in the USA [ 52 , 69 ]. In the present study, the detected interstitial nephritis was overall rather mild and most likely subclinical in all cases.…”

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Pathogens in Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and Raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and raccoons (Procyon lotor) are invasive alien species originating from East Asia and North America, respectively. They are discussed as vectors and reservoirs for various infectious diseases, including vector-borne and zoonotic pathogens, and are therefore a potential threat to human and domestic animal health, as well as to biodiversity and conservation. In the years 2021 and 2022, 110 raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and 30 raccoons (Procyon lotor) were screened via qPCR for the presence of Leptospira spp., Rickettsia spp. and Borreliella spp. in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein as part of a health and risk assessment study. Borreliella spp. were confirmed in one raccoon dog and one raccoon, identified as Borreliella afzelii in the raccoon. Leptospira spp. were found in 21 (19.44%) raccoon dogs and 2 (6.90%) raccoons. In five raccoon dogs, Leptospira spp. were identified as Leptospira borgpetersenii, Leptospira kirschneri and Leptospira interrogans.
