From April 2009 to December 2011, 44 dead hedgehogs ( Erinaceus europaeus ) were collected incidentally from areas of Urmia, Iran. The overall prevalence of helminth infections was 95.0%. Specific parasites and their prevalences were: Physaloptera clausa (93.0%), Crenosoma striatum (61.0%) , Capillaria aerophila (9.0%) , Capillaria sspp.(4.0%), Brachylaemus erinacei (2.0%) and Hymenolepis erinacei (16.0%) . There were no significant differences in helminth occurrence between hedgehog sexes, either in single or in mixed infections ( p > 0.05). The mixed infection involving Crenosoma striatum and P. clausa occurred significantly more frequently than other mixed infection ( p < 0.05).There were significant differences in prevalence among seasons, with the highest prevalence in summer and spring especially among P. clausa and C. striatum (p < 0.05).
