However, there is no need to panic. Nobody has died from a Sydney Funnel-web Spider bite since anantivenomwas introduced in 1980. Before the introduction of the antivenom the rate of human deaths following a Funnel-web spider bite was less than one every three years, and these fatalities t...
This paper describes the successful use of funnel-web antivenom in two severe cases of envenomation from bites by a male funnel-web spider, Atrax robustus. Rapid resolution of the syndrome occurred in both cases. Although the first patient, a 49-year-old man, may have slowly recovered without...
(formerly Fraser) Island, having been isolated there off the coast of the mainland for around 20,000 years. As such, it has a different venom makeup to others, and is said to be six times more potent than its most famous cousin, the Sydney funnel-web, which prior to antivenom use ...
(Clark et al., 1992), its efficacy has been questioned, and there is some lack of enthusiasm for the use of antivenom due to the potential occurrence ofallergic reactions(Isbister and Gray, 2003c; Vetter and Isbister, 2008). If antivenom is going to be used for patients with latrode...
but there are no spiders whose bites are deadly even as much as 10% of the time. And that's when the patient in untreated. Since the invention of antivenom, the number of deaths worldwide due to genuine spider bites has reached an all time low, meaning it almost never happens. When ...
Objective: To present the first reported case of premature labor complicating severe red-back spider envenomation and the use of antivenom in its treatment.Clinical features: A 33 year old multiparous woman, 30 weeks pregnant, arrived at hospital almost a day after being bitten. She displayed clas...
In summary, disulfide-rich spider-venom peptides are promising insecticide leads due to their invertebrate selectivity, stability, ease of production, and in many cases novel pharmacology. Moreover, it should be possible to use transgenes encoding these peptides as insect-resistant plant traits or ...
