An overview of Tityus cisandinus scorpion venom: Transcriptome and mass fingerprinting reveal conserved toxin homologs across the Amazon region and novel lipolytic components

Yan Kalapothakis et al.

Summary: In this study, the first venom gland transcriptomic analysis of the Amazonian scorpion T. cisandinus outside Brazil was conducted. The total venom was also analyzed using MALDI-TOF MS, which supported the transcriptomic findings. The study revealed a high similarity between the venoms of T. cisandinus and T. obscurus, indicating the existence of a neglected complex of genetically and toxinologically related Amazonian scorpions of medical importance. Furthermore, it was found that currently available therapeutic sera have low recognition against the venoms of T. cisandinus and T. obscurus, highlighting the need for improvement to protect against envenomation by Amazonian Tityus spp.

Summary: In the Amazon Region, individuals bitten by venomous snakes often face delays in reaching urban hospitals for adequate treatment due to lack of availability of antivenom in rural areas. Many patients resort to home treatments and only seek medical help when symptoms worsen.

Bringing order to a complex system: phenotypic and genotypic evidence contribute to the taxonomy of Tityus (Scorpiones, Buthidae) and support the description of a new species

Jairo A. Moreno-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: A new cave-dwelling species, Tityus spelaeus, is described in this study based on molecular phylogenetic analysis and survey of overlooked phenotypic characters. The study identifies useful characters such as glandular regions and setae distribution for constructing the taxonomy of Tityus species and species groups. Additionally, the study discusses the phylogenetic relationships within Tityus, the relevance of new phenotypic characters to modern taxonomy, and records of Brazilian cave scorpions.

Amazonian scorpions and scorpionism: integrating toxinological, clinical, and phylogenetic data to combat a human health crisis in the world's most diverse rainforest

Adolfo Borges et al.

Summary: The venom from Amazonian scorpions of the genus Tityus can cause distinct clinical, mainly neurological, symptoms, in contrast to autonomic manifestations from congeneric southern and northern South American species. This study synthesized toxinological, clinical, and molecular data from affected areas in the Amazon, highlighting potential diversity gradients in venom components despite strong phylogenetic associations among species. Efforts are needed across affected nations to develop treatments and understanding for this neglected disease.

Scorpion species of medical importance in the Brazilian Amazon: a review to identify knowledge gaps

Jonas Gama Martins et al.

Summary: Scorpionism is a significant medical concern in Brazil, particularly in the Northern Region where there has been a notable increase in incidence. Studies have shown that populations of medically important scorpions in the Brazilian Amazon may exhibit significant toxic variations even within the same species. Commercial scorpion antivenoms have not proven effective in reducing the intensity and duration of neurological symptoms in patients stung by certain species of scorpions in the region.
