Stinging insects are a frequent cause of local and systemic hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. For those with a history of life-threatening anaphylaxis, venom immunotherapy is effective, safe, and can be life-saving. Arachnids are a much less common source of envenomation through bites or stings and are less likely to cause a ...

Scorpion venomics: a 2019 overview
Espert Review of Proteomics, 2019Introduction: A few scorpions are dangerous to humans. Their medical relevance was the initial driving force for venom research. By classical biochemistry and molecular cloning, several venom peptides and their coding transcripts were characterized ...

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2010
The review summarizes knowledge about ants that are known to sting humans and their venoms.Fire ants and Chinese needle ants are showing additional spread of range. Fire ants are now important in much of Asia. Venom allergens have been characterized and studied for fire ants and jack jumper ants.

Snake venoms are complex mixtures containing many different biologically active proteins and peptides. A number of these proteins act on components of the haemostatic system in humans. The paper focuses on those venom constituents that affect the blood coagulation pathway, endothelial cells and platelets. Several highly purified venom enzymes have been

Venom-Sweet-Venom: N-Linked Glycosylation in Snake Venom Toxins
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2009Protein glycosylation represents one of the most important post-translational events, and is a mean of diversifying a protein without recourse to the genome. The venoms produced by snakes contain an abundance of glycoproteins with N-linked carbohydrates.

AbstractObjective: Studies have noted the relatively common occurrence of positive urine results with the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories Venom Detection Kit (VDK) when testing patients with suspected snakebite who are not envenomed. Possible explanations have been false positive test results or subclinical envenoming.

Insect venoms applied by stings of social Hymenoptera, like honey bees, vespids or ants are -together with foods and drugs - the most frequent elicitors of anaphylaxis in humans. Besides taxonomy, the biology of the responsible social Hymenoptera is important: guidelines based upon its knowledge allow to reduce the risk of further stings in patients ...

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1992
It is not widely appreciated that mammals can be venomous in the manner of snakes and lizards. However, it was first demonstrated scientifically 50 years ago in the case of the American short-tailed shrew. Subsequently, similar evidence has been obtained from European shrews and the Haitian solenodon, but research in this area has been almost ...

Unmasking venom gland transcriptomes in reptile venoms
Analytical Biochemistry, 2002While structural studies of reptile venom toxins can be achieved using lyophilized venom samples, until now the cloning of precursor cDNAs required sacrifice of the specimen for dissection of the venom glands. Here we describe a simple and rapid technique that unmasks venom protein mRNAs present in lyophilized venom samples. To illustrate the technique

Deciphering the Molecular Diversity of an Ant Venom Peptidome through a Venomics Approach.
Journal of Proteome Research, 2018The peptide toxins in the venoms of small invertebrates such as stinging ants have rarely been studied due to the limited amount of venom available per individual. We used a venomics strategy to identify the molecular diversity of the venom peptidome for
