Scorpions are one of the most important venomous animals in Iran. Their sting has more prevalence in the south and southwest areas. The aim of this study was to introduce their sting agent species in the country.
Data were extracted by a mini review on scorpion stinging articles in Iran until early 2018 and then the sting agent species in each area were studied. Geographical and provincial distribution of each species also was provided.
Twelve scorpion species are causative agents of sting. According to their deadly rate and clinical symptoms, some of them are considered the most dangerous venomous animals in Iran. Some death cases have been reported because of the sting of 3 species of and . Remaining species have not deadly sting but because of their frequency, they encounter the individuals and cause the stinging.
The highest number of sting agents is in Khuzestan, however Gilan and Mazandaran have the lowest frequency. Because of the high prevalence of sting agent species in that province, the necessity of providing control and prevention programs is very important.
蝎子是伊朗最重要的有毒动物之一。其蜇伤在该国南部和西南部地区更为普遍。本研究的目的是介绍该国的蜇人蝎子种类。
通过对截至2018年初伊朗蝎子蜇伤相关文章的小型综述提取数据,然后研究每个地区的蜇人蝎子种类。还提供了每个种类的地理和省份分布情况。
12种蝎子是蜇伤的致病源。根据其致死率和临床症状,其中一些被认为是伊朗最危险的有毒动物。已报告有因3种蝎子蜇伤导致的死亡病例。其余种类虽无致命蜇伤,但因其数量多,会接触到人并导致蜇伤。
胡齐斯坦省的蜇人蝎子种类最多,而吉兰省和马赞德兰省的频率最低。鉴于该省蜇人蝎子种类的高流行率,制定控制和预防计划非常必要。
