Toxicon, 2012 Members of the spider genus Loxosceles pose a marked health risk to humans because of the seriousness of the necrotic and systemic effects of their bite, known as loxoscelism. The recent confirmation of Loxosceles similis in residences of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais Province, Brazil increases the local potential risk of loxoscelism at higher levels.

Toxicon, 2016 Envenoming resulting from Loxosceles spider bites (loxoscelism) is a recognized public health problem in Brazil. However, the pathophysiology of loxoscelism caused by L. similis bites, which is widespread in Brazil, remains poorly understood. In the present work, the RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq - Next Generation sequencing - NGS) of the L.
