The European hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, is a nocturnal mammal that inhabits forests, but can increasingly be found in rural and urban areas as well. Although primarily insectivorous, it also eats other types of invertebrates and small vertebrates, as well as plant matter. Given its frequent contact with humans and domestic animals, there is a need to investigate the endoparasites they may transmit or serve as reservoirs for. In studies conducted in Italy, Poland, Denmark, and Switzerland, deceased hedgehogs found either in the wild or in rehabilitation centers, as well as their feces, were used for examination. Postmortem examinations and fecal analyses revealed various endoparasites, often with multiple hedgehog infestations with different species of endoparasites. The most prevalent endoparasites belonged to the genera Crenosoma, Capillaria, and Brachylaima. Although these countries differ in their geographical factors, the endoparasites appearing in European hedgehogs are the same, leading to the conclusion that geographical factors have little influence on the type of endoparasites in European hedgehogs. Additionally, no correlation was found between gender, location, and seasonality of endoparasite infestation. However, a correlation was observed between endoparasite infestation and age, with infestations generally being weaker in younger individuals. Ultimately, further research on endoparasites in European hedgehogs is needed to determine if endoparasite infestations have an impact on humans and domestic animals coming into contact with European hedgehogs, as well as the potential for European hedgehogs to spread endoparasites.
