Insect Venom Peptides
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-01-01)
The insects of the order Hymenoptera ( bees, wasps, and ants) are classified in two groups, based on their life history: social and solitary. The venoms of the social Hymenoptera evolved to be used as defensive tools to ...
Enzymatic variability among venoms from different subspecies of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(2005-06-01)
The enzymatic variability was analyzed in venom extracts from bees reared in different colonies of the Africanized, A. m. ligustica and A. m. carnica subspecies. The implications of this variation focused on the biochemistry ...
Production of the First Effective Hyperimmune Equine Serum Antivenom against Africanized Bees
(Public Library Science, 2014)
Purification, sequencing and structural characterization of the phospholipase A(1) from the venom of the social wasp Polybia paulista (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-12-01)
The biochemical and functional characterization of wasp venom toxins is an important prerequisite for the development of new tools both for the therapy of the toxic reactions due to envenomation caused by multiple stinging ...
Dufour glands in the hymenopterans (Apidae, Formicidae, Vespidae): a review
(Instituto Internacional de Ecologia, 2001-02-01)
Anexas ao aparelho do ferrão dos himenópteros aculeados encontram-se as glândulas de veneno e as de Dufour. A glândula de veneno é originada das glândulas associadas ao ovopositor dos himenópteros ancestrais não aculeados, ...
Hyperalgesic and edematogenic effects of peptides isolated from the venoms of honeybee (Apis mellifera) and neotropical social wasps (Polybia paulista and Protonectarina sylveirae)
(Springer, 2011-01-01)
Stings by bees and wasps, including Brazilian species, are a severe public health problem. The local reactions observed after the envenoming includes typical inflammatory response and pain. Several studies have been performed ...
Study of the venom glands in Ectatomma quadridens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Evolutionary hypothesis in subfamily ponerinae
(2005-06-01)
The venom glands of worker ants of the species Ectatomma quadridens morphologically resemble an elongated sac or reservoir ending in a narrower portion that has the function of releasing the secretion to the exterior. Two ...
Chemical communication in Apis mellifera: Temporal modulation of alarm behaviors
(1996-01-01)
The effect of pheromones and their chemical analogues in honeybee alarm behaviors was studied in observation boxes. Defensive behaviors, as follows: a) attraction to scent source, b) elevation of wings in 'V', c) abdomen ...
Proteomic analysis in the Dufour’s gland of Africanized Apis mellifera workers (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(Public Library of Science One, 2017)
Acute kidney injury after massive attack of Africanised bees
