Isolation of an orally active insecticidal toxin from the venom of an Australian tarantula.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Hardy Margaret C, Daly Norelle L, Mobli Mehdi, Morales Rodrigo A V, King Glenn F

Abstract excerpt

Many insect pests have developed resistance to existing chemical insecticides and consequently there is much interest in the development of new insecticidal compounds with novel modes of action. Although spiders have deployed insecticidal toxins in their venoms for over 250 million years, there i...
