It is an important carrier of multiple endoparasites, both Protozoa and Helminths, some of them being zoonotic. The aim of this study was to investigate the endoparasites of the non-native raccoon population of Central Italy. Sixty-two raccoons were collected by local competent authorities (sixty trapped and euthanized, two found dead) and subjected to necroscopic examination. Carcasses underwent a broad parasitological investigation, including coprological techniques (macroscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, trachea, and heart, Flotac\u00ae, Baermann test, and immunofluorescence for Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp.), research on respiratory\/urinary capillariosis and artificial digestion for Trichinella spp. larvae, and a histopathological examination of the ileum. Ascarid parasites were further identified at the species level using a next-generation sequencing-based amplicon sequencing approach. The results showed the presence of different Protozoa and Nematodes: Baylisascaris procyonis (26\/62; 41.9%), Pearsonema sp. (6\/62; 9.6%), Capillariidae (6\/62; 9.6%), Eimeria sp. (2\/62; 3.2%), Cryptosporidium sp. (2\/62; 3.2%), and Ancylostomatidae (2\/62; 3.2%). B. procyonis is an emerging helminthic zoonotic agent considered a serious concern for public and animal health, given the possibility of its transmission to paratenic hosts, including humans and pets. The demonstrated role of the raccoon as a multi-parasite carrier should be an incentive to continuing the eradication\/control of this alien species, and supports the need to implement related disease surveillance programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci10020171","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]],"date-time":"2023-02-21T01:39:28Z","timestamp":1676943568000},"page":"171","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Detection of Endoparasites in Non-Native Raccoons from Central Italy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9478-3231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Lombardo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Lazio e Della Toscana \u201cM.
