The zoonotic nature of Baylisascaris infections highlights the importance of wildlife management in preventing human cases. Raccoons, being the primary hosts, play a central role in the transmission cycle. Efforts to mitigate the risk of Baylisascaris infections involve managing raccoon populations, reducing human-raccoon interactions, and implementing public health measures. Urban areas with a high raccoon population density may face increased challenges in preventing environmental contamination with Baylisascaris eggs. Wildlife professionals, veterinarians, and public health agencies collaborate to implement strategies for managing Baylisascaris infections. This includes the development of educational programs to raise awareness about the risks associated with raccoon feces, proper handling of potentially contaminated materials, and the importance of seeking medical attention if symptoms suggestive of Baylisascaris infection arise. Additionally, research into the ecology of Baylisascaris and the factors influencing its transmission dynamics aids in developing targeted interventions to reduce the prevalence of these infections in both wildlife and human populations. The intersection of wildlife management, public health initiatives, and scientific research plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by Baylisascaris infections.
