Abstract
During the past 4 years examination of 320 raccoons, Procyon lotor, from five southeastern states revealed 39 species of helminth parasites. These were identified and grouped as follows: Trematoda: 24 species; Cestoda: 3 species; Nematoda: 11 species; and Acanthocephala: 1 species. Differences were noted between the helminthic fauna of hosts from coastal and inland habitats.Keywords
