Abstract:
601 faecal samples, 232 gastrointestinal tracts and 209 lungs from hedgehogs (Erinaceus europeaus L.) have been investigated parasitologically in the winter time of the years from 1980/81 to 1985/86. Developmental stages of parasites were discovered in 517 (= 86.0%) of the investigated faecal samples. 180 (= 86.0%) lungs harboured the worms of Crenosma striatum and/or Capillaria aerophilia. A total of 216 (= 93.1%) of the 232 investigated gastrointestinal tracts were parasitized with Capillaria spp., Brachylaemus erinacei, and Coccidia, respectively.
