  • Checklist and Review of the Scorpion Fauna of Iraq (Arachnida: Scorpiones)
    Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 61: 1-10 Karlsruhe, April 2021 Checklist and review of the scorpion fauna of Iraq (Arachnida: Scorpiones) Hamid Saeid Kachel, Azhar Mohammed Al-Khazali, Fenik Sherzad Hussen & Ersen Aydın Yağmur doi: 10.30963/aramit6101 Abstract. The knowledge of the scorpion fauna of Iraq and its geographical distribution is limited. Our review reveals the presence in this country of 19 species belonging to 13 genera and five families: Buthidae, Euscorpiidae, Hemiscorpiidae, Iuridae and Scorpionidae. Buthidae is, with nine genera and 15 species, the richest and the most diverse family in Iraq. Synonymies of several scorpion species were reviewed. Due to erroneous identifications and locality data, we exclude 18 species of scorpion from the list of the Iraqi fauna. The geographical distribution of Iraqi scorpions is discussed. Compsobuthus iraqensis Al-Azawii, 2018, syn. nov. is synonymized with C. matthiesseni (Birula, 1905). Keywords: Buthidae, distribution, diversity, Euscorpiidae, Hemiscorpiidae, Iuridae, Scorpionidae Zusammenfassung. Checkliste und Übersicht der Skorpione im Irak (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Die Kenntnisse über die Skorpionfau- na im Irak und deren geografische Verbreitung sind begrenzt. Die Checkliste umfasst 19 Arten aus 13 Gattungen und fünf Familien: Buthidae, Euscorpiidae, Hemiscorpiidae, Iuridae und Scorpionidae. Die Buthidae sind mit neun Gattungen und 15 Arten die artenreichste und diverseste Familie im Irak. Aufgrund von Fehlbestimmungen und falschen Ortsangaben werden 18 Skorpionarten für den Irak ge- strichen. Die geografische Verbreitung der Skorpionarten innerhalb des Landes wird diskutiert. Compsobuthus iraqensis Al-Azawii, 2018, syn. nov. wird mit C. matthiesseni (Birula, 1905) synonymisiert.

  • A Global Accounting of Medically Significant Scorpions
    Toxicon 151 (2018) 137–155 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Toxicon journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/toxicon A global accounting of medically significant scorpions: Epidemiology, major toxins, and comparative resources in harmless counterparts T ∗ Micaiah J. Ward , Schyler A. Ellsworth1, Gunnar S. Nystrom1 Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Scorpions are an ancient and diverse venomous lineage, with over 2200 currently recognized species. Only a Scorpion small fraction of scorpion species are considered harmful to humans, but the often life-threatening symptoms Venom caused by a single sting are significant enough to recognize scorpionism as a global health problem. The con- Scorpionism tinued discovery and classification of new species has led to a steady increase in the number of both harmful and Scorpion envenomation harmless scorpion species. The purpose of this review is to update the global record of medically significant Scorpion distribution scorpion species, assigning each to a recognized sting class based on reported symptoms, and provide the major toxin classes identified in their venoms. We also aim to shed light on the harmless species that, although not a threat to human health, should still be considered medically relevant for their potential in therapeutic devel- opment. Included in our review is discussion of the many contributing factors that may cause error in epide- miological estimations and in the determination of medically significant scorpion species, and we provide suggestions for future scorpion research that will aid in overcoming these errors. 1.

Methods: Scorpions were collected at night, by using a UV lamp from Mardin Province, Turkey. Venom was ob- tained from mature H. saulcyi scorpions by electrical stimulation of the telson. The lethality of the venom was de- termined by i.v. injections using Swiss mice. In vivo effects of the venom were assessed by using the intraperitoneal route (ip) injections into mice (20±1g) and monitored for 24 h. The protein profiles of the scorpion venom were an- alyzed by NuPAGE® Novex® 4–12 % gradient Bis-Tris gel followed by Coomassie blue staining. Results: The lethal assay of the venom was 0.73 mg/kg in mice. We determined the electrophoretic protein pattern of this scorpion venom to be 4, 6, 9, 31, 35, 40, 46 and 69 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Analysis of electrophoresis indicated that H. saulcyi scorpion intoxicated mice exhibited autonomic nervous system symptoms (tachypnea, restlessness, hyperexcitability, convulsions, salivation, lacrimation, weakness).

    J Arthropod-Borne Dis, March 2019, 13(1): 104–115 O Ozkan and ME Alcigir: A Comparative … Original Article A Comparative Pathomorphological Findings Between Leiurus abdullahbayrami and Androctonus crassicauda (Scorpion: Buthidae) Envenomation in Rabbit Animal Model *Ozcan Ozkan1; Mehmet Eray Alcigir2 1Çankırı Karatekin University, Çankırı, Turkey 2Department of Pathology, Kirikkale University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kirikkale, Turkey (Received 15 May 2017; accepted 23 Dec 2018) Abstract Background: The aim of study was to compare macroscopical and histopathological findings between venoms be- longing to two scorpion species, Androdoctonus crassicauda, and the newly discovered Leirus abdullahbayrami. Methods: The animals used in this experimental study were fifteen New Zealand bred rabbits. Three groups were constituted as group I (L. abdullahbayrami group, n= 6), group II (A. crassicauda group, n= 6) and group III (control group, n= 3). The animals in the L. abdullahbayrami group and the A. crassicauda group were envenomed through an intravenous route. The rabbits were monitored for the first 24h following the envenomation. The animals dead within that time period were examined and all animals were sacrificed and standard necropsy process was performed at 24h. Results: The pathomorphological findings from group I were found to be more severe than those observed in group II. The venom from the newly identified L. abdullahbayrami has a greater effect than the venom from the A. crassicauda. Moreover, as this was a rabbit modeling study, the L. abdullahbayrami might pose the most serious health threat to infants in particular due to their smaller body weight. Conclusion: These findings will provide a better understanding of envenomation of human beings in terms of the possible consequences of scorpion toxication on the organs.

  • Characterization of Leiurus Abdullahbayrami (Scorpiones: Buthidae) Venom: Peptide Profile, Cytotoxicity and Antimicrobial Activi
    Erdeş et al. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases 2014, 20:48 http://www.jvat.org/content/20/1/48 RESEARCH Open Access Characterization of Leiurus abdullahbayrami (Scorpiones: Buthidae) venom: peptide profile, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity Efe Erdeş1,2,Tuğba Somay Doğan2,3, İlhan Coşar4, Tarık Danışman4, Kadir Boğaç Kunt5, Tamay Şeker2, Meral Yücel2,6 and Can Özen1,2,7* Abstract Background: Scorpion venoms are rich bioactive peptide libraries that offer promising molecules that may lead to the discovery and development of new drugs. Leiurus abdullahbayrami produces one of the most potent venoms among Turkish scorpions that provokes severe symptoms in envenomated victims. Methods: In the present study, the peptide profile of the venom was investigated by electrophoretic methods, size-exclusion and reversed-phase chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects were evaluated on a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and various bacterial and fungal species. Results: Proteins make up approximately half of the dry weight of L. abdullahbayrami crude venom. Microfluidic capillary electrophoresis indicated the presence of 6 to 7 kDa peptides and proved to be a highly practical peptidomics tool with better resolution when compared to conventional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Mass spectroscopy analysis helped us to identify 45 unique peptide masses between 1 to 7 kDa with a bimodal mass distribution peaking between molecular weights of 1 to 2 kDa (29%) and 3 to 4 kDa (31%). L. abdullahbayrami crude venom had a proliferative effect on MCF-7 cells, which may be explained by the high concentration of polyamines as well as potassium and calcium ions in the arachnid venoms.

ABSTRACT he aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activities of hemolymph and venom obtained from Tsome scorpion species. Venom samples were obtained by electrical stimulation method from five different scorpion species. Again, hemolymph fluids were obtained from five different scorpion species. Antimicrobial activities of hemolymph and venom diluted 1:1 with sterile saline were tested against a total of 10 microorganisms including seven bacteria and three yeasts using disc diffusion method. Venom samples of Protoiurus kraepelini showed inhibition zones of 9-20 mm on all microorganisms tested. Venom from this species has the highest antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. The venom samples of Aegaeobuthus gibbosus were effective (7-12 mm) on all microorganisms except Enterococcus faecalis and Micrococcus luteus. In addition, it was found that venoms obtained from Androctonus crassicauda, Hottentotta saulcyi and Leiurus abdullahbayrami have different levels of antibacterial effect but no antifungal effect against Candida species. Scorpion hemolymphs have been shown to have similar effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Besides, the obtained hemolymphs have been found to have low effect (7-9 mm) on microorganisms.
