Kinins in ant venoms—A comparison with venoms of related hymenoptera

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1989
1. Venom preparations have been made of six ant, one pompilid wasp, two mutillid wasp, and four social wasp species. 2. The venoms were analysed pharmacologically in order to detect kinin-like activity. 3. Due to the small amounts of venoms available only a cascade of smooth muscle preparation could be used. 4.

Fire Ants Feed Their Nestmates with Their Own Venom

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Venom secretion is widely used by ants for disease control and more generally as an external surface disinfectant. Here we report evidence that Solenopsis invicta feed their nestmates with their own venom. Venom alkaloids were found in crops and midguts of ants at concentration levels that have previously been reported as effective against various ...

Venom chemistry of ants in the genusMonomorium

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1982
A comparative analysis of the venomous alkaloids produced by ant species in the subgenusMonomorium of the genusMonomorium has been undertaken. All species produce mixtures of unsymmetricaltrans-2,5-dialkylpyrrolidines, but the proportions of the constituents may vary considerably between species.

Fractionation of bulldog ant venom

Toxicon, 1974
Abstract The venom of an Australian Bulldog Ant, Myrmecia pyriformis, has been fractionated by means of low voltage starch gel electrophoresis and gel filtration on Sephadex G50 and G75 columns. The aims of the study were (a) to establish whether the biological activities which had previously been described resided in separate venom components, and ...

Ant Venoms: A Study of Venom Diversity

1978
Ant venoms appear to represent an almost untapped reservoir of information capable of adding several exciting chapters to the story of toxinology. Ants share with some bees and wasps the distinction of being the only truly social group of venomous animals. This fact implies that most of the venomous individuals belong to an essentially sterile class of

A Harvester Ant Venom: Chemistry and Pharmacology

Science, 1978
The mammalian toxicity of the potently algogenic venom of the ant Pogonomyrmex badius is greater than that reported for any other insect venom. This enzyme-rich venom contains high concentrations of phospholipase A 2 and B, hyaluronidase, acid phosphatase, lipase, and esterases.

Prevention of anaphylaxis with ant venom immunotherapy

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2003
Worldwide, eight genera of ants have been associated with sting allergy. Until recently only whole ant body extracts have been used for immunotherapy. The purpose of this review is to examine recent advances in the understanding of ant venom allergy and treatment using venom immunotherapy.Public health problems due to severe ant sting anaphylaxis are ...
