  • Title: Lonomia obliqua venom: In vivo effects and molecular aspects associated with the hemorrhagic syndrome.
    Author: Pinto AF, Berger M, Reck J, Terra RM, Guimarães JA.
    Journal: Toxicon; 2010 Dec 15; 56(7):1103-12. PubMed ID: 20114060.
    Abstract:
    Caterpillar envenomation has been an emergent health issue. Lonomia obliqua is a medically important animal that causes a hemorrhagic syndrome that can progress to acute renal failure, intracranial hemorrhage and death. In the past few years the molecular characterization of L. obliqua venom in addition to experimental models has provided fundamental information to the understanding of the envenomation syndrome. Herein studies from several authors which characterized the complex toxic-pharmacological actions of whole venom are reviewed.
