Ectoparasites of hedgehogs: From flea mite phoresy to their role as vectors of pathogens
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Hedgehogs are synanthropic mammals, reservoirs of several vector-borne pathogens and hosts of ectoparasites. Arthropod-borne pathogens (i.e., Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp., and Anaplasmataceae) were molecularly investigated in ectoparasites collected on
