Abstract
The effects of the crude venom of the scorpion Androctonus australis Hector and its insect toxin, mammal toxin II and the ‘crustacean fraction’ were tested on the crayfish stretch receptor organ. The ‘crustacean fraction’ was able to mimic the excitatory and blocking action of the crude venom, while the insect and mammal toxins were inactive. It is suggested that the specificity in the action of the ‘crustacean fraction’ is due to a specific affinity to a crustacean neural system.
