Neurotoxic effects of scorpion envenomation, a video of nystagmus, dysmetria, and tongue fasciculations: a case report [PDF]
Journal of Medical Case ReportsBackground Scorpion stings are common in rural areas worldwide, with most cases being benign. However, certain species, such as Centruroides in Southwestern USA, can cause severe neurotoxic envenomations.

Immunogenicity of two representative American consensus scorpion neurotoxins from the genera Tityus and Centruroides. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesTwo consensus scorpion toxins derived from venoms of the genera Centruroides (NATx, North America), and Tityus (SATx, South America) were rationally designed and recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli Origami. Both recombinant proteins were produced

An overview of some enzymes from buthid scorpion venoms from Colombia: Centruroides margaritatus, Tityus pachyurus, and Tityus n. sp. aff. metuendus [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical DiseasesBackground: In Colombia, several species of Buthidae scorpions belonging to the genera Centruroides and Tityus coexist, and their stings are considered life-threatening to humans because of their venom neurotoxins.
