Background Colombia and Brazil are affected by severe cases of scorpionism. In Colombia
the most dangerous accidents are caused by Tityus pachyurus that is widely distributed …

Scorpions of the Neotropical genus Tityus are responsible for most severe envenomations in
the Caribbean, South America, and Lower Central America (LCA). Although Tityus is …

Abstract Background: Tityus serrulatus venom (Ts venom) is a complex mixture of several
compounds with biotechnological and therapeutical potentials, which highlights the …

MALDI-TOF-TOF and de novo sequencing were employed to assess the Tityus serrulatus
venom peptide diversity. Previous works has shown the cornucopia of molecular masses …

We provide a mitochondrial DNA-based phylogenetic hypothesis for 21 Tityus species
collected in Venezuela, Trinidad, Brazil and Panama, including 12 taxa known to be toxic to …

Venom from Amazonian scorpions of the genus Tityus contains components capable of
eliciting a distinct clinical, mostly neurological, syndrome. This contrasts with the mainly …

Venoms from Tityus species inhabiting five endemic regions of scorpionism in Venezuela
(Andean, Perijá range, north-central, northeastern, and Guayana) and also southeast Brazil …

Objectives Scorpion envenomation is a common public health problem in Venezuela. We
report an envenoming case by Tityus breweri, endemic to the Guayana Shield, southeast …

In this study, two Leiurus abdullahbayrami scorpion venoms were analyzed with MALDI-TOF
MS and their peptide and protein distributions were compared. The total protein amount of …

During the past decade mass spectrometry (MS) has become one of the major suitable
techniques for peptide and protein analysis from animal venoms, not only to identify new …
