Solution structure of Cn5, a crustacean toxin found in the venom of the scorpions Centruroides noxius and Centruroides suffusus suffusus

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2009
The crustacean toxin Cn5 from Centruroides noxius Hoffmann and peptide Css39.8 from Centruroides suffusus suffusus scorpion venoms are identical peptides, as confirmed by amino acid sequence of purified toxins and by DNA sequencing of the two respective cloned genes. Therefore in this communication they will be simply named Cn5.

Oxygen consumption of the scorpion centruroides sculpturatus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1969
Abstract 1. 1. Rhythmic fluctuations in oxygen consumption and the effects of sex, body size, age and temperature on respiratory rates were investigated for the scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus . 2. 2. A nocturnal rhythm in oxygen consumption was not observed except for an initial increase in response to the change from light to dark. 3.

Incidence of Immediate and Delayed Hypersensitivity to Centruroides Antivenom

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1999
To assess the incidence and course of immediate and delayed hypersensitivity to Centruroides antivenom.We performed a 12-month prospective observation study, with telephone follow-up, evaluating the incidence of anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions and serum sickness after Centruroides antivenom administration.

Biochemical, genetic and physiological characterization of venom components from two species of scorpions: Centruroides exilicauda Wood and Centruroides sculpturatus Ewing

Biochimie, 2004
Current literature concerning the taxonomic names of two possibly distinct species of scorpions from the genus Centruroides (sculpturatus and/or exilicauda) is controversial. This communication reports the results of biochemical, genetic and electrophysiological experiments conducted with C.

Effectiveness of Centruroides scorpion antivenom compared to historical controls

Toxicon, 2013
Envenomation by North American scorpions of genus Centruroides is associated with a syndrome of neurotoxicity and respiratory compromise that disproportionately affects rural children. Severe scorpion envenomation is rare, which makes treatment difficult to study using conventional controlled clinical trials; and small-scale placebo-controlled trials ...

Interspecific hybridation of laboratory rearedCentruroides gracilisandCentruroides margaritatus(Chelicerata, Scorpiones)

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 1991
Three cases of hybridization obtained in laboratory conditions between Centruroides gracilis and Centruroides margaritatus bring some evidence on the genetic relationship between these two species. The experiments were done with specimens collected in Florida (USA), Mexico and Colombia.
