Hedgehog flea
The hedgehog flea (''Archaeopsylla erinacei'') is a flea species which, as indicated by its common name, is an external parasite specifically adapted to living with the European hedgehog and the North African hedgehog, but it has also been found on other animals.
==Description==
Named in 1835 by Peter Friedrich Bouché,〔Boris R. Krasnov, ''Functional and Evolutionary Ecology of Fleas'' (2008), p. 558〕 ''A. erinacei'' is a common flea "found on every hedgehog, usually in large numbers".〔''Entomologist's Gazette'', vols. 5-6 (1954), p. 88〕 A typical number of fleas on a hedgehog is about a hundred, but up to a thousand have been reported on sick animals.〔Hugh Warwick, ''A Prickly Affair: My Life with Hedgehogs'' (2010), p. 28〕 The flea is occasionally found also on dogs and cats, but only temporarily, and has been known to cause allergic dermatitis in dogs.〔''Black's Veterinary Dictionary'' (2015), p. 655〕 It has also been found on foxes.〔''Encyclopedia of mammals - Volume 7 (Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 1997), p. 979〕 The flea's length is between 2 and 3.5 millimetres,〔Roger Anthony Avery, Roy Watling, ''Identification of animal parasites'' (1974), p. 124〕 and its food is the blood of the host.
