Abstract
⺠The accident by Cathorops spixii occurs when the sting penetrates the skin, releasing the venom along with the skin mucus. ⺠Important peptide fractions were detected in both venoms with antimicrobial activity. ⺠Peptide fractions caused venular stasis, hemorrhage and changes in the arteriolar wall diameter. ⺠Protein fractions produced a typical inflammatory process in post-capillary venules. ⺠We described for the first time a Wap65 protein in sting venom.
