Assay of Spider Venom and Antivenene in Drosophila
Nature, 1956DURING studies on the toxicity of the venom of the Australian red back spider (L. hasseltii) it was found that the venom injected into Drosophila causes paralysis of the insect. This effect has been utilized for assaying antivenene.

Latarcins: versatile spider venom peptides
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2015Arthropod venoms feature the presence of cytolytic peptides believed to act synergetically with neurotoxins to paralyze prey or deter aggressors. Many of them are linear, i.e., lack disulfide bonds. When isolated from the venom, or obtained by other means, these peptides exhibit common properties.

Collagenolytic activity of snake and spider venoms
Toxicon, 1967Abstract The venoms of the snakes B. atrox , B. Jararaca , C. durissus , A. piscivorus , and the spiders P. fera , L. erythrognatha possess proteolytic activity which attacks gelatine, casein and azocoll. Denatured (heat, urea) collagen is digested too. However, native collagen is not attacked by the enzymes present in the venoms investigated.

Venomous snake bites, scorpions, and spiders
2014Neurologic dysfunction due to natural neurotoxins is an important, but neglected, public health hazard in many parts of the world, particularly in the tropics. These toxins are produced by or found among a variety of live forms that include venomous snakes, arthropods such as scorpions, spiders, centipedes, stinging insects (Hymenoptera), ticks ...

[Venomous spiders and their venoms].
Tierarztliche Praxis, 1985The history of araneidism is long and confusing. The superstition seems to be inexterminatable that tropical mygalomorphs and mediterranean tarantulas are dangerous for humans. It can be looked up even in the most recent edition of the widespread clinical dictionary of Pschyrembel.

The Venom of Australian Spiders
2015Australia is home to an estimated 10,000 species of spider, including species from the Latrodectus genera and Atracinae family, two of the four widely recognized medically significant spider groups. It is predicted in excess of 5,000 spider bite cases occurring annually in Australia, predominantly by spiders that have not shown any medical relevance ...

Proteome and peptidome profiling of spider venoms
Expert Review of Proteomics, 2008Spider venoms are an important source of novel molecules with different pharmacological properties. Recent technological developments of proteomics, especially mass spectrometry, have greatly promoted the systematic analysis of spider venom. The enormous diversity of venom components between spider species and the lack of complete genome sequence, and ...

Polypeptide neurotoxins from spider venoms
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1999Spider venoms contain a variety of toxic components. The polypeptide toxins are divided into low and high molecular mass types. Small polypeptide toxins interacting with cation channels display spatial structure homology. They can affect the functioning of calcium, sodium, or potassium channels.

Spider Venoms and Their Effect
1987In principle, with the exception of some groups of spiders which have no venom glands at all (e.g. Uloboridae and Holarchaea) all spiders with any kind of venom apparatus must be considered as venomous, if not always for man, then perhaps for other animals, or at least for insects, their usual prey.
