Thirty raccoons (Procyon lotor) from three counties in east-central and southeast Kansas (USA) were examined for schistosomiasis. Eleven (37%) of the raccoons had adult schistosomes identified as Heterobilharzia americana present in the mesenteric vessels, histopathological lesions compatible with schistosomiasis, or both. This represents the first report of H. americana in Kansas and in the central United States.
对来自美国堪萨斯州中东部和东南部三个县的30只浣熊（北美浣熊）进行了血吸虫病检查。11只（37%）浣熊的肠系膜血管中发现了被鉴定为美洲异双盘吸虫的成虫血吸虫，或存在与血吸虫病相符的组织病理学病变，或两者皆有。这是堪萨斯州和美国中部首次报告美洲异双盘吸虫感染情况。
