Otopheidomenidae include 30 species of parasites of insects. These mites occur in areas with warm and hot climates. The only exception is Hemipteroseius adleri, the distribution of which reaches the central European region, which is characterised by a moderate climate with below-zero temperatures in winter.

The genus is one of the two genera in family Encyclometridae, known for parasitising the oesophagus, stomach and intestine of snakes. Among , the species present are: , , and . Species discrimination within has predominantly relied on morphological differences, such as the length of the caeca and the position of the testes.

Article Synopsis
- Triatomines, known as kissing bugs, can spread Chagas disease by transmitting the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and preventing their contact with humans is crucial for controlling the disease.
- The study tested eight commercial essential oils for their effectiveness in repelling different species of kissing bugs, using an exposure device to measure how long the bugs stayed near a host.
- Results showed that a specific blend of essential oils significantly reduced the bugs' proximity to humans, suggesting potential for these natural repellents in developing new strategies for managing disease-vector insects.
European ground squirrels Spermophilus citellus (Linnaeus) do not share identical Cryptosporidium spp. with North American ground squirrels.

Cryptosporidium Tyzzer, 1910 is one of the most common protistan parasites of vertebrates. The results of this study provide the first data on Cryptosporidium diversity in the European ground squirrel Spermophilus citellus (Linnaeus). A total of 128 faecal samples of European ground squirrels from 39 localities in the Czech Republic were analysed for the presence of Cryptosporidium spp.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebral malaria (CM), caused by Plasmodium falciparum, leads to severe complications due to the clumping of infected red blood cells in brain microvessels and triggers significant inflammation and disruptions in the brain-blood barrier.
- Previous research suggests that terpenes like perillyl alcohol (POH) can combat these issues by reducing inflammation and protecting the brain's microvascular structures in experimental models of CM.
- The study demonstrated that POH effectively inhibited harmful endothelial changes induced by parasitized red blood cells, restored tight junction protein distribution, and improved the permeability of human brain endothelial cell layers, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent for cerebral malaria.
