Macroparasite prevalences, abundances and ranges of dissected hedgehogs from the Czech Republic.

Hedgehogs from different sexes and ages are pooled, except for Crenosoma striatum, Brachylaemus erinacei and Hymenolepis erinacei for which age groups were treated separately; EE  =  Erinaceus europaeus, ER  =  Erinaceus roumanicus, j =  juvenile, a =  adult, N =  number of samples, SD  =  standard deviation, hoglets (N = 8) are not represented in the table. Note: developmental stages of ticks were pooled. P =  probability based on χ2-test for differences in prevalence and Mann-Whitney U-test for differences in abundance, p-values represent the differences between the two hedgehog species, ecotparasite prevalence and abundance were not statistically analyzed, because the sampling method might lead to biases.
