This note concerns a small scorpion and a little-known buthid species Orthochirus innesi Simon, 1910. According to the last work about scorpions of Algeria in 2018, this species is located in Algerian Septentrional Sahara at the East of Algeria. This finding provides a new locality of O. innsi outside this geographical distribution range, of which...
Tityus trivittatus is considered the most medically important scorpion species of southern South America. In this contribution we redefine its taxonomy, redescribe the species and separate the southern popula�tions as a new species, Tityus carrilloi n. sp. As a consequence of this description, the most medically important species of the region turn...
This note concerns two cases of Androctonus species recently sampled from Ghardaïa region (Central Algeria). A remarkable malformation of one chela in Androctonus amoreuxi (Audouin, 1825) and a case of an enlargement of one chelicera in Androctonus australis (Linnaeus, 1758).
The present review covers available results on the application of FT‐MS for the de novo sequencing of natural peptides of various animals: cones, bees, snakes, amphibians, scorpions, and so forth. As these peptides are usually bioactive, the animals efficiently use them as a weapon against microorganisms or higher animals including predators. These...
Movement screens are widely used to identify aberrant movement patterns in hopes of decreasing risk of injury, identifying talent, and/or improving performance. Motion capture data can provide quantitative, objective feedback regarding movement patterns. The dataset contains three-dimensional (3D) motion capture data of 183 athletes performing mobi...

... Initially a species of wide distribution in dry areas but collected only seldom [118], T. confluens has been spotted more frequently in the past few years, especially in the Midwest, where the number of accidents is significantly growing in the past few years. As this species has been responsible for human deaths in Argentina [119] and has been expanding its distribution, penetrating in urban environments such as the city of Buenos Aires [120], T. confluens must be more closely surveilled and regarded as a potential threat in Brazil. ...
Opportunistic scorpion species can colonize urban environments, establishing high-density communities that enhance the chances of human accidents. This scenario has been taking place in Brazil, in which some Tityus species have taken city centers, causing an explosion in the number of scorpion envenoming cases. The characteristics of this scorpionism epidemic in Brazil is discussed in the present work. The number of Brazilian scorpion stings has surpassed 120,000 cases in 2017, and has been maintained above this number ever since, representing a more than 3-fold increase in 10 years, which was higher than the number of cases for most of the neglected tropical diseases in the country. The escalation in scorpionism cases is even higher in some regions of Brazil. Fortunately, the proportion of mild cases has also increased in the analyzed period, as well as the number of victims seeking for medical attention within the first hour after the accident. The species Tityus serrulatus, Tityus stigmurus, Tityus bahiensis, and Tityus obscurus are traditionally accountable for most of the scorpion accidents in different regions of Brazil, but other species deserve to be closely watched. Despite scorpionism being a notable health problem in Brazil, accident prevention and pest control regarding this venomous animal have not been properly addressed by the scientific community nor by policy makers. Therefore, this review also aims to point possible fields of research that could help to contain the aggravation of the current scorpionism landscape in Brazil.
Scorpionism is an increasing public health problem in the world. Although no specific methodology or product is currently available for the control of those arachnids, the use of insecticides could be an effective tool. Chlorpyrifos is one of the insecticides used, but to date, whether scorpions recognise surfaces with that insecticide and how it affects their physiology and/or biochemistry is unknown. In the present study, we observed that scorpions recognise surfaces with 0.51 and 8.59 μg/cm ² of chlorpyrifos and avoid those areas. The 0.51 μg/cm ² concentration produced a decrease in acetylcholinesterase and an increase in catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione S‐transferase, whereas the 8.59 μg/cm ² concentration evoked a decrease in acetylcholinesterase and an increase in catalase and glutathione S‐transferase. Using the comet assay, we observed that the insecticide at 0.17, 0.51 and 8.59 μg/cm ² caused DNA damage. Finally, we found that the insecticide does not generate significant variations in glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, the amount of protein or lipid peroxidation. The present results offer a comprehensive understanding of how scorpions respond, both at the biochemical and behavioural levels, when exposed to insecticides.
