Allergy to stings and bites from rare or locally important arthropods: Worldwide distribution, available diagnostics and treatment

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Convergent evolution of toxin resistance in animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 1823-1843, October 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Convergence is the phenomenon whereby similar phenotypes evolve independently in different lineages. One example is resistance to toxins in animals. Toxins have evolved many times throughout the tree of life. They disrupt molecular and physiological pathways in target species, thereby incapacitating prey or deterring a predator.

Morphometric study and sexual dimorphism analyses in an Iranian population of Scorpio maurus (Arachnida: Scorpionidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 22, Page 15630-15638, November 2021., 2021
Scorpio maurus was collected and evaluated for morphometric study and sexual dimorphism analyses for the first time in Iran. 53 morphological characters of 15 specimens of each sex of S. maurus were studied. Sexual dimorphism was observed in 21 morphological characters of S. maurus based on statistical analyses.

Mass spectrometry‐based top‐down and bottom‐up approaches for proteomic analysis of the Moroccan Buthus occitanus scorpion venom

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 1867-1892, July 2021., 2021
Buthus occitanus scorpion possesses highly toxic venom. This article describes the first proteomic screening of the Moroccan B. occitanus venom. Our findings highlight the complexity and the toxin diversity of this venom. The most representative compounds are neurotoxins.
