The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is almost ubiquitous in North America. In recent times, it was introduced in many parts of the world where it has now become largely feral. Since the outbreak of raccoon rabies epizootic in eastern United States and Canada, most diagnostic laboratories have had increased numbers of raccoon carcasses or raccoon brain submissions for diagnosis of rabies. However, since a number of other diseases that affect the central nervous system and have similar clinical signs as rabies have been documented in this species, the current review attempts to bring together the published information on neurologic disorders of raccoons.
浣熊（北美浣熊）在北美几乎随处可见。近年来，它被引入世界许多地区，如今在这些地方已基本成为野生动物。自从美国东部和加拿大爆发浣熊狂犬病 epizootic 以来，大多数诊断实验室收到用于狂犬病诊断的浣熊尸体或浣熊脑组织样本的数量有所增加。然而，由于该物种中已记录到一些其他影响中枢神经系统且具有与狂犬病相似临床症状的疾病，本综述试图汇总已发表的有关浣熊神经系统疾病的信息。
