2. Highlights in the knowledge of brown spider toxins
Abstract Brown spiders are venomous arthropods that use their venom for predation and defense. In humans, bites of these animals provoke injuries including dermonecrosis with gravitational spread of lesions, hematological abnormalities and impaired renal function. The signs and symptoms observed following a brown spider bite are called loxoscelism. Brown spi

3. Histopathological characterization of experimentally induced cutaneous loxoscelism in rabbits inoculated with Loxosceles similis venom
Envenomation by Loxosceles bites is characterized by dermonecrotic and/or systemic features that lead to several clinical signs and symptoms called loxoscelism. Dermonecrotic lesions are preceded by thrombosis of the dermal plexus. Recent studies show that atheromatous plaque is prone to thrombosis due to endothelial cell apoptosis. To the best of our knowle

4. Análise do transcriptoma da glândula produtora de veneno de Loxosceles intermedia (aranhamarrom): perfil de expressão e identificação de novas toxinas. / Effects of metalloproteinas from Brotrops leucurus venon and brown spiders venoms on endothelial cell and components of extracellular matrix.
Loxosceles genus spiders are responsible for accidents all over the world and have clinical importance in the South of Brazil. The venom of these spiders is made up of several toxins, including proteins, which are responsible for the clinical pattern called loxoscelism. To describe the transcriptional profile of the L. intermedia venom gland, we generated a

5. Loxosceles spider bite in Turkey (Loxosceles rufescens, Sicariidae, Araneae)
Loxoscelism is caused by envenomation by spiders that belong to the Loxosceles genus. In loxoscelism, a local necrotic lesion appears and, in many cases, loxoscelism or necrotic araneism is considered a serious public health problem. There is no diagnostic test available to help the physician make a diagnostic or therapeutic decision. Here, we report the cas

6. Evaluation of the efficacy of vacuum cleaners for the integrated control of brown spider Loxosceles intermedia
Some venomous spiders of the genus Loxosceles can reach high population densities inside and around houses. In Brazil, most spider accidents are related to Loxosceles intermedia. Control of loxoscelism should utilize integrated pest management tools, such as vacuum cleaners, to eliminate egg sacs, webs and spiders. The present study tested the efficacy of on

7. Estudo do potencial neutralizante do soro equino anti-Esfingomielinases D recombinantes, sobre as ações tóxicas dos venenos das aranhas Loxosceles. / Study of the neutralization potential of the anti-recombinant Sphingomyelinases D serum, on the toxic effects of Loxosceles spider venoms.
Os envenenamentos por aranhas das espécies L. laeta, L. intermedia e L. gaucho, podem causar dermonecrose e efeitos sistêmicos. O principal componente tóxico do veneno destas apresenta atividade de esfingomielinase D (SMase D). O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar o potencial neutralizante do novo soro anti-SMases D recombinantes e do soro anti-Arac

8. Tropical House Gecko (Hemidactylus mabouia) predation on brown spiders (Loxosceles intermedia)
Brown spiders (Loxosceles spp.) are venomous arachnids, successfully adapted to urban habitats in Brazil. Loxoscelism became a serious public health problem in Paraná State, especially at the capital Curitiba, where the most abundant species is Loxosceles intermedia. Hemidactylus mabouia (Gekkonidae) lizards are synanthropic predators of arthropods. In this

9. The calcium-dependent protease of Loxosceles gaucho venom acts preferentially upon red cell band 3 transmembrane protein
Eighty micrograms red blood cell (RBC) ghosts from patients who had previously exhibited the cutaneous form of loxoscelism (presenting localized dermonecrosis) and the viscerocutaneous form of loxoscelism (presenting dermonecrosis, hemoglobinuria, hematuria, and jaundice) and from controls were incubated with 2.5 µg crude Loxosceles gaucho venom in 5 mM pho

10. Extracellular matrix molecules as targets for brown spider venom toxins
Loxoscelism, the term used to describe lesions and clinical manifestations induced by brown spider's venom (Loxosceles genus), has attracted much attention over the last years. Brown spider bites have been reported to cause a local and acute inflammatory reaction that may evolve to dermonecrosis (a hallmark of envenomation) and hemorrhage at the bite site, b
