A helminthological survey of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) captured in Sado Island, Japan was conducted in 2001. Eight species of helminths were detected in 35 raccoon dogs autopsied, including five nematode species, namely, Toxocara tanuki, Ancylostoma kushinnaense, Arthrostoma miyazakiense, Dirofilaria innnitis, Molineus sp.; two trematode species, namely, Metagonimus sp. and Echinostoma sp.; and one cestode species, Spirometra erinaceieuropaei. Seven out of eight species detected are important to public health because of their infectiveness to humans.
