Reproductive investiment in the scorpion Centruroides vittatus

Oecologia, 1993
Among invertebrates, scorpions possess a relatively unique set of reproductive traits. The interrelationships of these traits may have important implications for life history theory, yet there have been few studies of these traits in scorpions. Our data indicate that larger female Centruroides vittatus produce more offspring and have a higher total ...

Expression and characterization of scFv-6009FV in Pichia pastoris with improved ability to neutralize the neurotoxin Cn2 from Centruroides noxius.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Small single-chain variable fragments (scFv) are promising biomolecules to inhibit and neutralize toxins and to act as antivenoms. In this work, we aimed to produce a functional scFv-6009FV in the yeast Pichia pastoris, which inhibits the pure Cn2 ...

Atropine Use inCentruroidesScorpion Envenomation

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 2001
Systemic scorpion envenomation may be associated with hypersalivation and respiratory distress. Atropine can dry secretions, but is not recommended for stings from many foreign scorpions, since it exacerbates adrenergic toxicity to the cardiopulmonary system. Serious adrenergic effects, however, are rare with Centruroides sculpturatus envenomation.Five

Analysis of the Geographic Variation of Components in the Venom of the Scorpion Centruroides Bicolor

2024 International Congress of Science and Technology for Sustainable Development (CITDES)
Analyzing the variability in scorpion venom composition is crucial for antivenom production due to its impact on the effectiveness of these products. This variability can arise from genetic differences among individuals of the same species, which could ...

First Report of Centruroides limpidus in Tlaxcala, Mexico

The Southwestern entomologist
. This study reports, for the first time, scorpions belonging to the genus Centruroides Marx 1890 in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Three specimens of C. limpidus (Karsch 1879) were collected in urban areas of the state.

Margatoxin, noxiustoxin, and kaliotoxin (Centruroides margaritatus, Centruroides noxius, Androctonus mauretanicus)

1997
Abstract Margatoxin (MgTX) and noxiustoxin (NxTX) are 39 amino acid peptides which share with charybdotoxin (ChTX) significant sequence homology and such structural motifs as three disulfide bridges, a mid-chain {a-helix), and a C terminal antiparallel β-sheet. MgTX and NxTX comprise the best-studied members of a second class of scorpion

Antimicrobial, toxicological, and antigenic characteristics of three scorpion venoms from Colombia: Centruroides margaritatus, Tityus pachyurus and Tityus n. sp. aff. metuendus.

Acta Tropica
The venom fractions of three buthid scorpion species from Colombia, C. margaritatus, T. pachyurus and T. n. sp. aff. metuendus, were examined for antimicrobial and toxicity toward mice and insects.
