The mesostigmatid tropical rat mite, Ornithonyssus bacoti, is an important cause of disease in small rodents, and of gamasoidosis in humans when they come into contact with infestations. Most reports of O. bacoti infestations are from warmer parts of the Americas, southern Europe and Asia; and infection has only rarely been recorded in northern Europe.

- - Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common elbow fractures in children and can lead to neurovascular complications, including rare cases of isolated radial nerve palsy.
- - A case of a six-year-old boy with a displaced supracondylar fracture showed symptoms of radial nerve palsy, such as wrist drop, after falling from a playground, confirmed by imaging as a Gartland Type III fracture.
- - After treatment involving closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, the child's radial nerve function progressively improved, leading to full recovery and fracture healing by the 12-week follow-up, highlighting the need for timely management of such injuries.
Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) are a common threat faced by pastoral livestock. Since their major introduction to the UK in the early 1990s, South American camelids have been cograzed with sheep, horses, and other livestock, allowing exposure to a range of GIN species. However, there have been no molecular-based studies to investigate the GIN populations present in these camelids.
