英文摘要	In this study, we conducted molecular detection and characterization of piroplasms that infect the Ethiopian or desert hedgehogs (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Saudi Arabia. Blood samples from 112 (68 males and 44 females) desert hedgehogs from Unaizah, Central Saudi Arabia were screened for Theileria/Babesia DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) employing specific primers amplifying the partial 18S small subunit rRNA gene. Theileria DNA was detected in 51 samples (45 center dot 5%), giving a prevalence of 45 center dot 5%. Theileria DNA was found in 33 (48 center dot 5%) males and 18 (40 center dot 9%) females, and there was no significant difference (P > 0 center dot 05) in the prevalence between males and females. Similarly, there was no significant difference (P > 0 center dot 05) in the prevalence between juveniles (40%) and adults (46 center dot 7%). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of Theileria in hedgehogs collected from May to September and the period from October to April (P = 0 center dot 003). Four haplotypes of Theileria sp. in hedgehogs were detected and designated as H1-H4. H1 was the predominant haplotype and found in 80 center dot 8% of the positive individuals. Partial sequences of the 18S rRNA of Theileria sp. from hedgehogs grouped with Theileria spp. that are benign. This study is the first report of the occurrence of Theileria spp. in Saudi Arabian desert hedgehogs.
