Lonomia obliqua Walker (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae): hemostasis implications.
In southern Brazil, since 1989, several cases of accidents produced by unwilling contact with the body of poisonous caterpillars of the moth species Lonomia obliqua Walker, 1855 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), were described. L. obliqua caterpillars have gregarious behavior and feed on leaves of host trees during the night, staying grouped in the trunk during the day, which favors the occurrence of...
متن کاملHemostatic disorders induced by skin contact with Lonomia obliqua (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae) caterpillars
Patients envenomed by Lonomia sp caterpillars initially experience a mild burning pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, and skin and mucosal hemorrhages. Some patients can rapidly progress to a severe coagulopathy that presents as visceral or intracerebral hemorrhaging. We studied the hemostatic alterations that occurred in 14 patients who were envenomed by Lonomia obliqua in Southern Brazil and pr...
متن کاملThe complete genome of a baculovirus isolated from an insect of medical interest: Lonomia obliqua (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
Lonomia obliqua (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a species of medical importance due to the severity of reactions caused by accidental contact with the caterpillar bristles. Several natural pathogens have been identified in L. obliqua, and among them the baculovirus Lonomia obliqua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (LoobMNPV). The complete genome of LoobMNPV was sequenced and shown to have 120,022 bp ...
متن کاملExploring new molecules and activities from Lonomia obliqua caterpillars.
Skin contact with Lonomia caterpillar bristles causes a consumptive coagulopathy. From a cDNA library we cloned and expressed a prothrombin activator (rLopap) in active form, and from the bristles extract we characterized a FX activator (Losac). Several clones were sequenced and analyzed by expressed sequence tags. A database of about 1,270 sequences was constructed and deposited in NCBI (CX815...
