Diversity and toxicology of venomous caterpillars of the genus Lonomia in the Colombian Amazon

The Lonomia genus (family Saturniidae) is of medical importance due to the hemorrhagic effects their caterpillar?s venom can cause in humans. The venom has fibrinolytic and coagulant activities that alter the hemostatic system, and can lead to internal bleeding, renal failure, brain damage and death...

description The Lonomia genus (family Saturniidae) is of medical importance due to the hemorrhagic effects their caterpillar?s venom can cause in humans. The venom has fibrinolytic and coagulant activities that alter the hemostatic system, and can lead to internal bleeding, renal failure, brain damage and death. Despite the diversity of the genus (50 species), accidents are attributed almost exclusively to two species: Lonomia obliqua and Lonomia achelous. The Butantan Institute in Brazil produces an antilonomic serum that has been used in Colombia to counteract Lonomia venom in most of the reported accidents. However, Lonomia obliqua and Lonomia achelous venoms differ greatly in their composition and effect, leading to the need of using different treatments. To improve our knowledge about this genus and the management of Lonomia accidents, the aim of this study was to characterize the venom composition of Lonomia descimoni and to assess the diversity of the genus in the Colombian Amazon region...
