<i>Baylisascaris procyonis</i>Parasites in Raccoons, Costa Rica, 2014
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To the Editor: Baylisascaris procyonis (Ascaridoi- \ndea: Ascarididae) parasites are facultatively heteroxenous \n \nnematodes that are widely distributed in the United States \nand Canada, where prevalence rates reach 70%–90%. They \ncolonize the small intestine of their final host, the northern \nraccoon (Procyon lotor), whose feces can contain up to 25 \n× 103 \neggs/g. Under ideal environmental conditions (100% \nhumidity and 24°C), eggs become infective in soil (1,2). \n \nWhen ingested by other mammalian hosts, third-stage lar- \nvae can produce pathologic changes called larva migrans, \n \nwhich can lead to chronic neurologic disorders and even \n \ndeath (1,3). B. procyonis parasite infection of humans oc- \ncurs by the fecal–oral route (ingestion of eggs in contami- \nnated food) (1). Small children are particularly vulnerable \n \nthrough accidental geophagia. Public health concerns arise \nwhere raccoon and human populations overlap.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
