Ectoparasitic infestations of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) in Urmia city, Iran: First report [PDF]

Veterinary Research Forum, 2013
Hedgehogs are small, nocturnal mammals that become popular in the world and have significant role in transmission of zoonotic agents. Some of the agents are transmitted by ticks and fleas such as rickettsial agents.

The Danish Hedgehog Project:How Humans Influence Hedgehogs and How Hedgehogs May Affect Humans When Living Closely Together

, 2019
Accumulating research evidence suggests that the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is in decline in several western European countries. It is therefore essential to understand the reasons behind this decline to optimise and direct conservation ...

Abundance of hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) in relation to the density and distribution of badgers (Meles meles)

, 2006
Badgers Meles meles are intraguild predators of hedgehogs Erinaceus europaeus and have been shown to have a major effect on their abundance and behaviour at a localized scale. Previous studies have predicted the exclusion of hedgehogs from rural habitats

Intravenous Lipopolysaccharide Challenge in Healthy Participants Reveals Pharmacodynamic Markers in Blood and Bone Marrow for Early‐Phase Oncology Drug Development

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Demonstrating pharmacological effects in early‐phase oncology clinical trials remains challenging, largely due to the lack of robust pharmacodynamic markers. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is used as an immune challenge agent in healthy participants to study drugs for autoimmune conditions.

Skink predation by hedgehogs at Macraes Flat, Otago, New Zealand

, 2009
The stomach contents of 158 hedgehogs captured at Macraes Flat, Otago, New Zealand, over two summers in 2000 and 2001 were examined for the occurrence of lizards. The remains of at least 43 skinks (both Oligosoma nigriplantare polychroma and O. maccanni)

On allozyme and cyt-b gene characteristics of Cretan hedgehogs, Erinaceus concolor nesiotes Bate, 1906

, 2002
To infer the phylogenetic position of Cretan hedgehogs, Erinaceus concolor nesiotes, we compared directly allozymic variation at 27 loci and 383 bp-long sequences of the mitochondrial cyt-b gene of eleven and three hedgehogs, respectively, collected at ...

Novel Organelle‐Based Intracellular Immunity With Mechanistic and Therapeutic Implications

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
A conceptual framework illustrating how PAMPs/DAMPs initiate barrier, innate, adaptive, and intracellular immune responses, with organelle‐based intracellular immunity serving as a central integrator linking metabolism, inflammatory signaling, and therapeutic interventions to restore immune homeostasis.

Tick Infestation and Molecular Detection of Tick-Borne Pathogens from Indian Long-Eared Hedgehogs (Hemiechinus collaris) in Pakistan

Animals
Hedgehogs can act as reservoirs for the transmission of tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) to domestic livestock, wild animals, and humans. Understanding host–tick dynamics is essential to evaluate the impact of TBPs.

Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.
