Temporal polyethism and survivorship of workers of Agelaia pallipes (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Epiponini)
(2005-04-18)
In this study, known-age workers of Agelaia pallipes (Olivier) were introduced into a colony maintained in the laboratory and the effects of age polyethism on the worker life span were observed. As in other Neotropical ...
A comparative study of protein and enzymatic activity in venoms of some common wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) from São Paulo State
(2004-10-06)
The Hymenoptera Aculeata venoms, with few exceptions, have been poorly studied and characterized. Nevertheless, they have raised increasing interest due to their medical importance, since accidents with these insects are ...
Structural characterization of novel chemotactic and mastoparan peptides from the venom of the social wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-04-15)
High-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) techniques were ...
Agelaia MP-I: A peptide isolated from the venom of the social wasp, Agelaia pallipes pallipes, enhances insulin secretion in mice pancreatic islets
(2012-09-15)
Peptides isolated from animal venoms have shown the ability to regulate pancreatic beta cell function. Characterization of wasp venoms is important, since some components of these venoms present large molecular variability, ...
Bait and habitat preferences, and temporal variability of social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) attracted to vertebrate carrion
(2011-09-01)
In addition to feeding on carrion tissues and fluids, social wasps can also prey on immature and adult carrion flies, thereby reducing their populations and retarding the decomposition process of carcasses. In this study, ...
Structural and biological characterization of two novel peptides from the venom of the neotropical social wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes
(Elsevier B.V., 2004-07-01)
The venom of the neotropical social wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes was fractionated by RP-HPLC resulting in the elution of seven fractions; the last two were re-fractionated under RP-HPLC by using isocratic elution conditions ...
Agelotoxin: a phospholipase A(2) from the venom of the neotropical social wasp cassununga (Agelaia pallipes pallipes) (Hymenoptera-Vespidae)
(2000)
The neotropical wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes is aggressive and endemic in southeast of Brazil, where very often it causes stinging accidents in rural areas. By using gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, followed by high ...
Profiling the peptidome of the venom from the social wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-09-06)
The wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes is one of the most aggressive species from the neotropical region, causing many stinging accidents every year, characterized by severe envenoming reactions. The identification of peptides ...
Necrophagy by the social wasp Agelaia pallipes (Hymenoptera : Vespidae, Epiponini): Possible forensic implications
(California State University, 2008-01-01)
The occurrence of 62 specimens of Agelaia pallipes caught in carrion traps using three types of baits (fish, cow liver and poultry viscera) in three different types of environments (rural, urban and forest area) in seven ...
Protonectin (1-6): A novel chemotactic peptide from the venom of the social wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2010-11-01)
Peptides constitute the largest group of Hymenoptera venom toxins; some of them interact with GPCR, being involved with the activation of different types of leukocytes, smooth muscle contraction and neurotoxicity. Most of ...
