The prevalence of filariae in wild raccoons trapped in southeast Georgia was determined. Examination of blood samples revealed that 74 of 113 raccoons (66%) trapped in 6 southeastern Georgia counties were infected. Seventy-three of these raccoons (65%) were infected with Mansonella llewellyni and this parasite was observed in raccoons from every location examined. Dirofilaria tenuis was found in 22 raccoons (20%) and was observed in only 3 of the 6 counties surveyed. An adult specimen of Acanthocheilonema procyonis was found in the subcutaneous tissues of 1 of 5 necropsied raccoons. This is the first record of filariae in raccoons from Georgia. In addition, Dirofilaria-like larvae were found in Aedes taeniorhyncus mosquitoes collected in Liberty County.
