Apitherapy is a branch of alternative medicine that consists of the treatment of diseases through products collected, processed, and secreted by bees, specifically pollen, propolis, honey, royal jelly, and bee venom. In traditional medicine, the virtues of honey and propolis have been well-known for centuries. The same, however, cannot be said for venom. The use of bee venom is particularly relevant for many therapeutic aspects. In recent decades, scientific studies have confirmed and enabled us to understand its properties. Bee venom has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, central nervous system inhibiting, radioprotective, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, among others. Numerous studies have often been summarised in reviews of the scientific literature that have focused on the results obtained with mouse models and their subsequent transposition to the human patient. In contrast, few reviews of scientific work on the use of bee venom in veterinary medicine exist. This review aims to take stock of the research achievements in this particular discipline, with a view to a recapitulation and stabilisation in the different research fields.
蜂疗是替代医学的一个分支,它通过蜜蜂采集、加工和分泌的产品来治疗疾病,特别是花粉、蜂胶、蜂蜜、蜂王浆和蜂毒。在传统医学中,蜂蜜和蜂胶的功效几个世纪以来一直广为人知。然而,蜂毒的情况并非如此。蜂毒的使用在许多治疗方面都具有特别重要的意义。近几十年来,科学研究证实并使我们能够了解其特性。蜂毒具有抗炎、抗氧化、抑制中枢神经系统、辐射防护、抗菌、抗病毒和抗真菌等特性。许多研究经常被总结在科学文献综述中,这些综述侧重于在小鼠模型上获得的结果以及随后向人类患者的转化。相比之下,关于蜂毒在兽医学中应用的科学工作的综述很少。本综述旨在评估这一特定学科的研究成果,以期在不同研究领域进行总结和巩固。
