Vaccination is the touchstone of public health policies. The history of vaccination shows that vaccines have been empirically developed; therefore, many studies are still needed for the continuous development of this biological product. The effectiveness of vaccines is evaluated through the reduction of the infection or illness among vaccinated individuals, and it is influenced by many fa…
Bloodsucking insects cause a wide range of problems in humans and other vertebrates, ranging from skin irritations to the transmission of a variety of pathogens that can result in acute illness, debilitation, or death. In this sense, the insects of the Simuliidae family, also known as black flies have medical and economic importance, especially in rural and coastal areas, since their bite…
The centipedes of the Chilopoda class are a group of venomous arthropods widely distributed throughout the world. Because they are well-adapted to urban areas, they often cause accidents in humans. Despite the lack of medical relevance, caterpillar poisoning can cause a series of unpleasant symptoms such as burning pain, paresthesia, edema and superficial necrosis at the site of the bite.…
The venom of the spider Loxosceles is composed of a mixture of toxins that can cause intense inflammatory reaction, dermonecrotic injury, systemic manifestations such as platelet aggregation, hemolytic anemia, and in some cases, acute renal failure. In Brazil, the loxoscelism represented about 27% of the 29 167 cases diagnosed and reported accidents involving spiders (Ministry of Health, …
Loxosceles venom is composed of a mixture of toxins capable of causing an intense inflammatory reaction, dermonecrotic lesions and systemic manifestations such as platelet aggregation, hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure. Regarding the chemical composition, studies have shown that Loxosceles venom is rich in hialurinidases, peptidases, collagenases, alkaline phosphates, 5'-ribonucleo…

Chilopoda are a class of venomous arthropods widely distributed throughout the world. Because they are well adapted to live in urban and domestic areas several cases of humans bitten have been reported. Despite the poor medical relevance, human envenomation with centipedes can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms such as burning pain, paresthesia, edema and superficial necrosis at the bi…
