AIM
Limited data exist on acanthocephalan infections of hedgehogs in the world. Our objective was to investigate the prevalence and distribution of infection in hedgehogs between August 2021 and March 2022 ( = 30) in the east of Iran.
METHODS
At first, infection with was diagnosed based on morphologic features of the adults such as body length, proboscis, and hooks. Spindle-shaped eggs (mean length, 99.1 microns; mean width, 60.1 microns) were obtained from the body cavity of gravid female specimens.
RESULTS
The molecular analysis based on 18S rDNA and COX 1 genes confirmed the morphological identification of isolated . The prevalence of in our sample was 13.3% with 1-10 worms per infected host.
CONCLUSION
In this study, we identify as zoonotic species in hedgehog carcasses for the first time that passed eggs and adult worms, indicating parasite maturation and reproduction. There are a few studies on acanthocephalans in Iran. Therefore, more comparative studies are needed to determine the status of these species.
目的
世界上关于刺猬棘头虫感染的数据有限。我们的目标是调查2021年8月至2022年3月（n = 30）伊朗东部刺猬感染的患病率和分布情况。
方法
首先，根据成虫的形态特征如体长、吻突和钩子来诊断感染情况。从怀孕雌性标本的体腔中获得纺锤形卵（平均长度99.1微米；平均宽度60.1微米）。
结果
基于18S rDNA和COX 1基因的分子分析证实了分离出的棘头虫的形态学鉴定。我们样本中棘头虫的患病率为13.3%，每个感染宿主有1至10条虫。
结论
在本研究中，我们首次在刺猬尸体中鉴定出棘头虫为人畜共患病种，其排出了虫卵和成虫，表明寄生虫已成熟并繁殖。伊朗关于棘头虫的研究较少。因此，需要更多的比较研究来确定这些物种的状况。
