Experimental Tityus serrulatus scorpion envenomation: age- and sex-related differences in symptoms and mortality in mice [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2011 Among the various methods for evaluating animal venom toxicity, the calculation of the median lethal dose (LD50) is the most widely used. Although different protocols can be used to calculate the LD50, the source of the venom and the method of extraction,
