Myriapod haemocyanin: the first three-dimensional reconstruction of Scolopendra subspinipes and preliminary structural analysis of S. viridicornis [PDF]

Open Biology, 2020
Haemocyanins (Hcs) are copper-containing, respiratory proteins that occur in the haemolymph of many arthropod species. Here, we report the presence of Hcs in the chilopode Myriapoda, demonstrating that these proteins are more widespread among the ...

Comparative analysis of mitogenomes in six Scolopendra species (Chilopoda, Scolopendromorpha): insights into rare genetic rearrangements and phylogeny [PDF]

ZooKeys
Six complete mitochondrial genomes from species within Scolopendra (Scolopendromorpha) (S. alcyona, S. calcarata, S. cataracta, S. lufengia, S. mazbii, and S. multidens) were analyzed. The mitochondrial genomes ranged in size from 14,422 bp to 15,458 bp,

Systemic anaphylaxis following centipede envenomation: A case report and review of literature [PDF]

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Centipede envenomation is usually not life-threatening. They usually present with local symptoms of swelling and pain. Centipede venoms contain large amounts of allergenic proteins that can pose a risk of allergic complications following the bite.

Type designation and redescription of Scolopendra spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903 (Scolopendromorpha, Scolopendridae), with remarks on related taxa [PDF]

ZooKeys
The recent description of the scolopendromorph centipede Scolopendra paradoxa Doménech, 2018 raised questions concerning the morphological limits of its closest relative S. spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903.

Bacterial community associated with the surface and inside of centipede forcipules: Identification and characterization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
BackgroundIn tropical to subtropical regions, centipede bites may prompt medical attention, with manifestations largely reflecting venom-related discomfort, although infections, including rare fatal necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI), have been ...

Jiedu-Shengji Ointment promotes diabetic wound repair by inhibiting the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway and regulating macrophage function [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionDiabetic ulcers are one of the most common clinical complications of diabetes. These ulcers are characterized by poor healing and high recurrence rates, which lead to heavy medical burdens and greatly elevate the risk of limb amputation. They

Untangling Colour Diversity: Ecogeographic Patterns in Two <i>Scolopendra</i> Species Revealed by Citizen Science. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

A proton-gated channel identified in the centipede antenna [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Acid sensing is essential for various biological processes in animals, yet it exhibits species-specific characteristics. In this study, we identified a proton-dissociation-permeated sodium channel (PDPNaC1) in the antennal sensory neurons of the ...

Legged Locomotion in Lattices: Centipede Traversal of Obstacle-Rich Environments. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
We investigated how centipedes adapted their limb stepping and body bending patterns in a dense array of rigid obstacles (vertical posts). Centipedes maintained a rapid speed in the obstacle array by adapting their gaits in several ways, including adducing their limbs along their bodies to mitigate collisions, twisting their bodies into more favorable ...
