conclusions hemiscorpius lepturus venom in sheep can cause severe changes in some of the coagulation factors. this should be considered as part of the pathogenesis of scorpion sting and seriously in the treatment protocol of scorpion sting victims. results in the studied groups, the effect of time on pt and platelets counts was significant (p < 0.05); however, it did not have a significant effe...

hemiscorpius lepturus is medically important scorpion species present in the south and southwest part of iran, causing morbidity and mortality in children and adults. unlike other scorpions studied so far, the venom of h. lepturus is highly cytotoxic, that can be a reason for its complexity in clinical manifestations in patients stung by this scorpion. scarce studies showed the mechanism involv...

As top predators of pelagic food webs, marine birds naturally bioaccumulate essential and nonessential elements. Levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were determined in the liver, kidneys and muscles of three species of marine birds found on Réunion Island: Barau’s Petrel (Pterodroma baraui), Audubon’s Shearwater...

Sequences of the complete mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were used to identify Trichiurus species and examine their population genetic structure demographic history along coast China. Three found. japonicus lives in colder waters continental shelves China Seas, while nanhaiensis warmer slopes South Sea, brevis shallow Sea. The migrations these mainly associated with feeding spa...

Abstract: Background: Hemiscorpius lepturus is a medically important scorpion found along the Iranian borders, especially near to Khuzestan Province in the south-west of Iran. This is the only non-buthid scorpion which is potentially lethal in southern Iran and is responsible for severe dermonecrotic scorpionism. OBJECTIVES: In this study, DNA fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase ...
