In 2365, Dr. Katherine Pulaski greatly advanced in age after contracting an aging virus from David, a genetically engineered child from Gagarin IV.

In 2371, while massaging Kes' feet as part of the rolissisin ritual, The Doctor noticed a similarity between the Ocampan process of reproduction with a species called the Gree. The difference between the two species was that they stimulated follicles, rather than feet.
