Tityus cisandinus, a neglected medically important scorpion in Ecuadorian and Peruvian
Amazonia, belongs to a complex of species related to the eastern Amazon endemic Tityus
obscurus, spanning a distribution of ca. 4000 km. Despite high morbidity and mortality rates,
no effective scorpion antivenom is currently available in the Amazon region. Knowledge of
the structural/functional relationships between T. cisandinus venom components and those
from related Amazonian species is crucial for designing region-specific therapeutic …
