ProteomicsBeyond envenomation: functional dissection of Podalia orsilochus venom uncovers a procoagulant protein and additional toxic activities
Envenomation by urticating caterpillars of the family Megalopygidae is an underestimated public health issue in South America, with Podalia orsilochus being the main species implicated in cases reported in northeastern Argentina. This study aimed to characterize the toxicological properties of its v...

ProteomicsAsp caterpillar (Megalopyge ssp.) venom proteomes
Larvae of the genus Megalopyge (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea: Megalopygidae), called asp or puss caterpillars, produce defensive venoms that cause severe acute pain. Here, we present the anatomy, chemistry, and mode of action of the venom systems of caterpillars of two megalopygid species, the Southern ...

ProteomicsComana monomorpha caterpillar venom proteomics
Zygaenoidea is a superfamily of lepidopterans containing many venomous species, including the Limacodidae (nettle caterpillars) and Megalopygidae (asp caterpillars). Venom proteomes have been recently documented for several species from each of these families, but further data are required to unders...
