The scorpion Iurus dufoureius asiaticus (Birula 1903) which is the largest scorpion in Europe and Turkey belongs to the family Iuridae and is endemic in Turkey. No data has been found about the venom components of I. d. asiaticus. In this study, the venom extract ob-tained from I. d. asiaticus specimens collected from Aydin were analyzed using the Tris tricine SDS-PAGE method. A total of 28 protein fractions or fraction groups were detected in the range of 6.5-205 kDa.

Electrophoretical comparison of proteins of Mesobuthus eupeus and Mesobuthus gibbosus scorpion venoms.

Scorpion envenomation still remains a major health problem in many tropical and subtropical countries and quality control and homogeneity of venom are a crucial point.

Enzymatic analysis of venom from Cuban scorpion Rhopalurus junceus

Experiments indicate that Rhopalurus junceus scorpion venom has low enzymatic activity, which could contribute to the low toxic potential of this scorpions venom.

Characterization of Venom Components of Two Medically Important Scorpion Species, Hottentota tamulus (Fabricius, 1798) and Androctonus finitimus (Pocock, 1897)

Over 100 components ranging from 3,000 – 8,000 m/z in molecular masses were detected in the venom of both scorpion species, which were analogous to a short chain and long chain toxins, which act on potassium and sodium ion channels, respectively.

Experimental Kinetic Analysis of Mesobuthus Eupeus Scorpion Venom Absorption by ELISA

The maximum time that the venom was detectable in serum is dependent on the level of the injection, and in all venom received mice, the highest serum levels of the venom were recorded 1 hour after envenomation.

Purification of the Immunogenic Fractions and Determination of Toxicity in Mesobuthus eupeus (Scorpionida: Buthidae) Venom

Contrary to popular belief, which know scorpion venom as non-immunogenic composition, the current study was shown that the most fractions of the M. eupeus venom are immunogenic.
