Myocardial necrosis after envenomation by the scorpion Tityus serrulatus
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2002A 4 years old boy died a few hours after he had been stung by a scorpion (Tityus serrulatus). At necropsy, there were multiple foci of coagulative myocytolysis in the myocardium and pulmonary oedema. Myocardial necrosis was probably associated with the sympathetic storm induced by scorpion envenomation, and may have contributed to cardiac failure and ...

Novel components of Tityus serrulatus venom: A transcriptomic approach
Toxicon, 2021Several research groups have studied the components produced by the venom gland of the scorpion Tityus serrulatus, which has one of the most lethal venoms in the world. Various methodologies have been employed to clarify the complex mechanisms of action of these components, especially neurotoxins and enzymes.

Venom variability among several Tityus serrulatus specimens
Toxicon, 1997Individual differences in venom composition among several Tityus serrulatus specimens collected in the same area were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Polyclonal antibodies raised against whole venom and against the alpha-type (toxin IV-5 or Ts IV) and the beta-type toxin (toxin gamma or Ts VII) were used to study specific ...

Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom and Toxins: An Overview
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2009Tityus serrulatus is considered the most dangerous scorpion in South America and responsible for most of the fatal cases. This review will focus on Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom (Tsv), its long-chain Na(+)-channel toxins (NaTx), which include alpha- and beta-neurotoxins, short-chain K(+)-channel toxins (KTx), hyaluronidase, proteases and other ...
