Raccoons in the Kanto region of Japan show high oriental eyeworm infection rates. Commonly seen in the urban wildlife of Japan, they may transmit the oriental worm to domestic dogs, cats, and humans, finds a study in Parasites & Vectors.
sequences were also determined separately for each individual worm, and sequence alignments differentiated the three haplotypes. Nineteen worms from 16 raccoons and one worm from a Japanese raccoon dog shared one sequence type, which was 100% identical tosequences reported from humans in the Okayama Prefecture, Japan and a dog in Tokyo, Japan . Zhang et al. [] referred to the former sequence reported from Okayama as haplotype h9 and the latter reported from Tokyo as h11.
However, since these sequences are indistinguishable from each other , we have unified them and identified as h9. The second sequence, obtained from 32 worms from 22 individual raccoons and one worm from a Japanese raccoon dog, was identical to the sequence reported in humans in Kumamoto and Oita Prefectures and dogs and a cat in Tokyo, Japan. The third sequence type, obtained from two worms and two raccoons, was identical to a sequence recorded from a dog in Tokyo .
