Identification and phylogenetic analysis of Tityus pachyurus and Tityus obscuru...
Guerrero Vargas, Jimmy Alexander; Mourão, Caroline Barbosa Farias; Quintero Hernández, Verónica; Possani, Lourival D.Background: Colombia and Brazil are affected by severe cases of scorpionism. In Colombia the most dangerous accidents are caused by Tityus pachyurus that is widely distributed around this country. In the Brazilian Amazonian region scorpion stings are a common event caused by Tityus obscurus. The main objective of this work was to perform the molecular cloning of the putative Na+-channel scorpion toxins (NaScTxs...
Transcriptome analysis of the venom gland of the Mexican scorpion Hadrurus gert...
Schwartz, Elisabeth Nogueira Ferroni; Garcia, Elia Diego; Rodríguez de la Vega, Ricardo C.; Possani, Lourival D.Background: Scorpions like other venomous animals posses a highly specialized organ that produces, secretes and disposes the venom components. In these animals, the last postabdominal segment, named telson, contains a pair of venomous glands connected to the stinger. The isolation of numerous scorpion toxins, along with cDNA-based gene cloning and, more recently, proteomic analyses have provided us with a large...
