Biological and ecological observations on Mesobuthus gibbosus (Brullé, 1832) (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

CYTOTOXIC and GELATINOLYTIC ACTIVITIES of Mesobuthus Gibbosus (Brullé, 1832) VENOM

The crude venom of Mesobuthus gibbosus which is widely distributed in the Mediterranean region of Anatolia were investigated for its cytotoxic and gelatinolytic activities in vitro. Cytotoxic effects of the crude venom were examined in three different cell lines by MTT assay. 5RP7 is H-ras activated mouse fibroblasts, CO25 is N-ras activated mouse myoblasts and A549 is human adenocarcinomas cel...

بررسی مورفولوژی و فراوانی سلول های خونی عقرب Mesobuthus eupeus (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

سلول‌های خونی شاخص مهم ایمنی بندپایان در برابر بیمارگرها و پارازیتوئیدها می‌باشند. با شناخت دقیق سلولهای خونی و واکنش آنها در برابر عوامل بیگانه ای که به همولنف وارد می‌شوند، بهتر می‌توان جنبه های دفاع سلولی حشره را بررسی کرد. با توجه به تحقیقات بسیار اندک در بیولوژی عقر‌ب‌ها در این تحقیق، سلول‌های خونی مزوبوتوس اپئوس با استفاده از میکروسکوپ نوری مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. پنج نوع هموسیت در عقرب مز...

Geographical Distribution of Two Species of Mesobuthus (scorpiones, Buthidae) in China: Insights from Systematic Field Surveys and Predictive Models

Although Mesobuthus scorpions in China have become endangered in recent years, they are largely underinvestigated. Even the baseline data on their distributions are lacking. Here the geographical distributions of two Mesobuthus scorpions in China are provided through a combined study of systematic field surveys and GIS-based ecological niche modeling using 227 surveyed point occurrence data acr...
