Pantinin‐Derived Peptides against Veterinary Herpesviruses: Activity and Structural Characterization
ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 19, October 6, 2025.Pantinin‐1 and pantinin‐2, scorpion venom–derived peptides, show potent antiviral activity against caprine and bovine herpesviruses. Acting via virucidal action and inhibition of viral entry/fusion, they adopt α‐helical structures in membrane‐mimetic environments. These structure–activity insights highlight their potential as therapeutic agents against

Are ticks venomous animals? [PDF]
, 2017 [Introduction]: As an ecological adaptation venoms have evolved independently in several species of Metazoa. As haematophagous arthropods ticks are mainly considered as ectoparasites due to directly feeding on the skin of animal hosts. Ticks are of major

Evolution Stings: The Origin and Diversification of Scorpion Toxin Peptide Scaffolds
Toxins, 2013 The episodic nature of natural selection and the accumulation of extreme sequence divergence in venom-encoding genes over long periods of evolutionary time can obscure the signature of positive Darwinian selection.

Understanding the complexity of Tityus serrulatus venom: A focus on high molecular weight components [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical DiseasesTityus serrulatus scorpion is responsible for a significant number of envenomings in Brazil, ranging from mild to severe, and in some cases, leading to fatalities. While supportive care is the primary treatment modality, moderate and severe cases require

An Anti-serum for Scorpion Venom [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1909 Many deaths occur every year in Egypt as the result of scorpion sting. These deaths are practically confined to Cairo and Upper Egypt, and are almost entirely among children. Unfortunately, owing to local conditions, it is almost impossible to obtain really accurate figures for this mortality, but some idea may be formed from the statistics given below
