Reciprocal transplantation of the heterotrophic coral Tubastraea coccinea (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae) between distinct habitats did not alter its venom toxin composition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1794-1803, February 2020., 2020
Toxin complexity in the alien coral Tubastraea coccinea is conserved and co‐evolved with innovation of the venom delivery system. Morphological development of the coral and phenotypic expression of the venom and delivery system is not modulated by habitat pressures over short periods of time.

What do we know about some of the most conspicuous scorpion species of the genus Tityus? A historical approach

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2015
In the present study, comments are proposed on historical aspects of the most conspicuous scorpion species of the genus Tityus found in Brazil. Both Tityus bahiensis (Perty) and Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello are better known for their infamous ...

Parthenogenesis in scorpions: some history - new data

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
Parthenogenesis, a rare phenomenon in Chelicerates, apart from mites, is reviewed in scorpions, notably Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello from Brazil, Tityus columbianus (Thorell) from Colombia and Tityus metuendus Pocock from Peru and Brazil.

Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia and Cardiogenic Shock due to Scorpion Envenomation

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We describe a case of severe scorpion envenomation in an adult patient, with the presence of very rapid sustained ventricular tachycardia followed by cardiogenic shock, which was reversed by scorpion antivenom administration. Scorpion venom causes cardiac changes that can lead to an environment favoring arrhythmogenesis.

Hyaluronidase: the spreading factor of Tityus serrulatus venom [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The hyaluronidase enzyme is generally known as a spreading factor in animal venoms. Although its activity has been demonstrated in several organisms, a deeper knowledge about hyaluronidase and the venom spreading process from the bite/sting site until its elimination from the victim's body is still in need.

Model for Vaccine Design by Prediction of B‐Epitopes of IEDB Given Perturbations in Peptide Sequence, In Vivo Process, Experimental Techniques, and Source or Host Organisms

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Perturbation methods add variation terms to a known experimental solution of one problem to approach a solution for a related problem without known exact solution. One problem of this type in immunology is the prediction of the possible action of epitope of one peptide after a perturbation or variation in the structure of a known peptide and/or other ...
