Parabuthus species dig shallow burrows or scrapes at the base of shrubs, under rocks or fallen trees, and in soils of variable hardness and texture ranging from consolidated sand to moderately hard and gritty sediments. Some, for example P. granulatus, are often found near human habitats (e.g. suburban gardens and farm yards).

Parabuthus transvaalicus. [image L. Prendini ©] The Transvaal thick-tailed scorpion is large, about 140 mm in length and dark brown to black and hairy. It is reputed to be the second-most venomous southern African …

Scorpion venom has many components, but is mainly made up of water, salts, small molecules, peptides, and proteins. One can reasonably assume that the production and storage of this complex secretion is an expensive metabolic investment. However, to date, no study has addressed the costs associated …

 — The genus Parabuthus Pocock 1890 is an exclusively Old World scorpion that includes some of the largest buthid scorpions (Prendini 2004). Since these scorpions are concentrated in some of the world's most arid regions, which are sparsely populated by humans, the incidence of scorpion envenomation (scorpionism) is relatively low. ...

 — We investigated the biochemical profile of regenerated venom of the scorpion Parabuthus transvaalicus in relation to its metabolic cost and toxicity. Using a closed-system respirometer, we compared oxygen consumption between milked and unmilked scorpions to determine the metabolic costs associated with the first 192 h of subsequent …

 — Parabuthus transvaalicus (Purcell, 1899) is a very large and medically important scorpion species (16–18). In our studies with this scorpion, we observed that …

Parabuthus transvaalicus, P. granulatus, and P. villosus are three medically important scorpion species occurring in southern Africa which can cause severe envenoming among people. In contrast to many other genera, no data is available on the venom composition of scorpions belonging to the genus Par …

 — When stinging defensively, Parabuthus scorpions rely initially on pain-inducing, potassium-rich "prevenom" (Inceoglu et al., 2003), using their metabolically expensive, protein-rich venom only at ...

 — Highlights Milked scorpions had a higher metabolic rate than unmilked scorpions. Parabuthus transvaalicus venom components seem to be regenerated asynchronously. Peptides associated with prevenom seem to be regenerated before venom peptides. Lethality bioassay showed that venom toxicity returned to normal within 4 …

 — 4.. DiscussionWe found that P. transvaalicus incurred considerable metabolic cost when replenishing its venom. Scorpion venom is a complex mixture containing mucus, inorganic salts, low-molecular weight organic molecules, and many different small proteins, with the latter being neurotoxins (Müller, 1993, Debonta et al., 1998).Studies of other …
