Bacterial community associated with the surface and inside of centipede forcipules: Identification and characterization. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBackgroundIn tropical to subtropical regions, centipede bites may prompt medical attention, with manifestations largely reflecting venom-related discomfort, although infections, including rare fatal necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI), have been ...

Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two Scolopendra Species Revealed by Citizen Science [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

Systemic anaphylaxis following centipede envenomation: A case report and review of literature [PDF]
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary CareCentipede envenomation is usually not life-threatening. They usually present with local symptoms of swelling and pain. Centipede venoms contain large amounts of allergenic proteins that can pose a risk of allergic complications following the bite.

Inverse eigenvalue problems for acyclic matrices whose graph is a dense centipede
Special Matrices, 2018 The reconstruction of a matrix having a pre-defined structure from given spectral data is known as an inverse eigenvalue problem (IEP). In this paper, we consider two IEPs involving the reconstruction of matrices whose graph is a special type of tree ...

Redescription of Mesoschendyla javanica (Attems, 1907) and its first records from Borneo (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha, Schendylidae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe geophilomorph Mesoschendyla javanica (Attems, 1907) was originally described from a small number of males collected from bat guano in Tjompea (Ciampea), Java. Subsequently, no additional material was identified.

Representation effects in the centipede game. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 We explore the effects on strategic behavior of alternative representations of a centipede game that differ in terms of complexity. In a laboratory experiment, we manipulate the way in which payoffs are presented to subjects in two different ways.

Identification of components in scorpion and centipede traditional Chinese medicine formulations with potentially beneficial actions in asthma: network pharmacology and molecular docking [PDF]
HereditasBackground The aim of this study is to identify the principal active components of scorpion and centipede-derived traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ingredients using network pharmacology and explore their mechanisms of action in the treatment of asthma.
