RESEARCH PROGRESS ON HEDGEHOGS CARRYING ZOONOTIC PATHOGENS
Wild hedgehogs may act as carriers and/or hosts for bacterial,viral,and fungal pathogens with zoonotic potential,posing a significant threat to humans.Humans are increasingly invading hedgehog habitats,disrupting the coexistence between humans and animals.Hedgehogs are also increasingly being kept as pets,substantially increasing the probability of human zoonotic pathogen spillover from hedgehogs to humans.Herein,we review existing knowledge on bacterial,viral,and mycotic pathogens with zoonotic potential,evaluating the significance of hedgehogs as carriers or hosts.
