  • Effects of Brazilian Scorpion Venoms on the Central Nervous System
    Nencioni et al. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases (2018) 24:3 DOI 10.1186/s40409-018-0139-x REVIEW Open Access Effects of Brazilian scorpion venoms on the central nervous system Ana Leonor Abrahão Nencioni1* , Emidio Beraldo Neto1,2, Lucas Alves de Freitas1,2 and Valquiria Abrão Coronado Dorce1 Abstract In Brazil, the scorpion species responsible for most severe incidents belong to the Tityus genus and, among this group, T. serrulatus, T. bahiensis, T. stigmurus and T. obscurus are the most dangerous ones. Other species such as T. metuendus, T. silvestres, T. brazilae, T. confluens, T. costatus, T. fasciolatus and T. neglectus are also found in the country, but the incidence and severity of accidents caused by them are lower. The main effects caused by scorpion venoms – such as myocardial damage, cardiac arrhythmias, pulmonary edema and shock – are mainly due to the release of mediators from the autonomic nervous system. On the other hand, some evidence show the participation of the central nervous system and inflammatory response in the process. The participation of the central nervous system in envenoming has always been questioned. Some authors claim that the central effects would be a consequence of peripheral stimulation and would be the result, not the cause, of the envenoming process. Because, they say, at least in adult individuals, the venom would be unable to cross the blood-brain barrier. In contrast, there is some evidence showing the direct participation of the central nervous system in the envenoming process. This review summarizes the major findings on the effects of Brazilian scorpion venoms on the central nervous system, both clinically and experimentally.

  • Tityus Serrulatus Envenoming in Non-Obese Diabetic Mice: a Risk
    de Oliveira et al. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases (2016) 22:26 DOI 10.1186/s40409-016-0081-8 RESEARCH Open Access Tityus serrulatus envenoming in non-obese diabetic mice: a risk factor for severity Guilherme Honda de Oliveira1, Felipe Augusto Cerni1, Iara Aimê Cardoso1, Eliane Candiani Arantes1 and Manuela Berto Pucca1,2* Abstract Background: In Brazil, accidents with venomous animals are considered a public health problem. Tityus serrulatus (Ts), popularly known as the yellow scorpion, is most frequently responsible for the severe accidents in the country. Ts envenoming can cause several signs and symptoms classified according to their clinical manifestations as mild, moderate or severe. Furthermore, the victims usually present biochemical alterations, including hyperglycemia. Nevertheless, Ts envenoming and its induced hyperglycemia were never studied or documented in a patient with diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, this is the first study to evaluate the glycemia during Ts envenoming using a diabetic animal model (NOD, non-obese diabetic). Methods: Female mice (BALB/c or NOD) were challenged with a non-lethal dose of Ts venom. Blood glucose level was measured (tail blood using a glucose meter) over a 24-h period. The total glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were measured 30 days after Ts venom injection. Moreover, the insulin levels were analyzed at the glycemia peak. Results: The results demonstrated that the envenomed NOD animals presented a significant increase of glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and insulin levels compared to the envenomed BALB/c control group, corroborating that DM victims present great risk of developing severe envenoming. Moreover, the envenomed NOD animals presented highest risk of death and sequelae.

Lourenço, E ric Y thier & J ohn L. Cloudsley-Thompson (with 4 figures) Abstract Biological observations were made on Tityus melanostictus Pocock, 1893, based on specimens from the region of Cumana, Trinidad. The total duration of embryonic development can only be estimated as 2.5 to 3 months, while the molts necessary for the acquisition of the different juvenile instars and adulthood took place at ages that averaged: 4, 48, 119, 211, 265 and 330 days. These developmental periods are not greatly different from those in other average sized and smaller species of Tityus; however, they are shorter than those previously observed in the larger species of the genus. Morphometric growth values of the different instars are smaller than those of other known species ofTityus. Keywords: Scorpiones, Tityus melanostictus, Trinidad, forest, life history. Introduction Tityus melanostictus Pocock, 1893 was originally described from Trinidad, without reference to a precise locality (Pocock 1893, Lourengo & Eickstedt 1987). This species has a restricted area of distribution limited to Trinidad, Tobago and the North of Venezuela (Lourengo & Eickested 1987, Gonzalez-Sponga 1996, Prendini 2001).

  • Active Compounds Present in Scorpion and Spider Venoms and Tick Saliva Francielle A
    Cordeiro et al. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases (2015) 21:24 DOI 10.1186/s40409-015-0028-5 REVIEW Open Access Arachnids of medical importance in Brazil: main active compounds present in scorpion and spider venoms and tick saliva Francielle A. Cordeiro, Fernanda G. Amorim, Fernando A. P. Anjolette and Eliane C. Arantes* Abstract Arachnida is the largest class among the arthropods, constituting over 60,000 described species (spiders, mites, ticks, scorpions, palpigrades, pseudoscorpions, solpugids and harvestmen). Many accidents are caused by arachnids, especially spiders and scorpions, while some diseases can be transmitted by mites and ticks. These animals are widely dispersed in urban centers due to the large availability of shelter and food, increasing the incidence of accidents. Several protein and non-protein compounds present in the venom and saliva of these animals are responsible for symptoms observed in envenoming, exhibiting neurotoxic, dermonecrotic and hemorrhagic activities. The phylogenomic analysis from the complementary DNA of single-copy nuclear protein-coding genes shows that these animals share some common protein families known as neurotoxins, defensins, hyaluronidase, antimicrobial peptides, phospholipases and proteinases. This indicates that the venoms from these animals may present components with functional and structural similarities. Therefore, we described in this review the main components present in spider and scorpion venom as well as in tick saliva, since they have similar components. These three arachnids are responsible for many accidents of medical relevance in Brazil. Additionally, this study shows potential biotechnological applications of some components with important biological activities, which may motivate the conducting of further research studies on their action mechanisms.
