Hedgehogs are distributed in different areas of Iran. Unfortunately, clinical and parasitological studies on parasites of hedgehogs are very few. Crenosoma striatum is a common lungworm in hedgehogs. C. striatum infection can cause weight loss, dry cough, bronchitis with ulcerous reactions based on secondary bacterial infections, pulmonary damage, thickening of the tracheal wall, and pulmonary emphysema up to cardiovascular failure. In this survey, six dead hedgehogs (Hemiechinus auritus) were investigated for lungworm infection. All the six hedgehogs had C. striatum infection in their lungs.
刺猬分布于伊朗的不同地区。不幸的是，关于刺猬寄生虫的临床和寄生虫学研究非常少。纹状管圆线虫是刺猬体内常见的一种肺线虫。纹状管圆线虫感染可导致体重减轻、干咳、继发细菌感染引起的溃疡性支气管炎、肺部损伤、气管壁增厚以及直至心血管衰竭的肺气肿。在本次调查中，对六只死亡的刺猬（长耳刺猬）进行了肺线虫感染调查。所有六只刺猬的肺部都有纹状管圆线虫感染。
