1. Biochemical characterization of a phospholipase A2 homologue from the venom of the social wasp Polybia occidentalis
Abstract Background: Wasp venoms constitute a molecular reservoir of new pharmacological substances such as peptides and proteins, biological property holders, many of which are yet to be identified. Exploring these sources may lead to the discovery of molecules hitherto unknown. This study describes, for the first time in hymenopteran venoms, the identific

2. In vitro antibacterial effect of wasp (Vespa orientalis) venom
Background The emergence of antibacterial resistance against several classes of antibiotics is an inevitable consequence of drug overuse. As antimicrobial resistance spreads throughout the globe, new substances will always be necessary to fight against multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Venoms of many animals have recently gained attention in the search f

3. Estudos das alteraÃÃes renais e vasculares induzidas pelo veneno da Polybia Paulista / Vascular and renal alterations induced by the polybia paulista wasp venom
PeÃonhas de Hymenoptera, particularmente das famÃlias Apidae (abelhas) e Vespidae (vespas), sÃo uma rica fonte de peptÃdeos e proteÃnas com atividades biolÃgicas. A espÃcie Polybia Paulista à uma vespa social neotropical muito agressiva e endÃmica no Sudeste do Brasil. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar os efeitos renais e vasculares induzidos pe

4. Spider leg autotomy induced by prey venom injection: An adaptive response to “pain”?*
Field observations showed orb-weaving spiders (Argiope spp.) to undergo leg autotomy if they are stung in a leg by venomous insect prey (Phymata fasciata). The response occurs within seconds, before the venom can take lethal action by spread to the body of the spiders. Autotomy is induced also by honeybee venom and wasp venom, as well as by several venom com
