摘要

蝎子的动物群在干旱和半干旱气候的地区是丰富的，使这些地区暴露于中毒的风险，特别是对儿童。蝎子中毒每年造成数千人死亡，在中东和北非地区、南美洲、拉丁美洲和中美洲以及印度的发生率很高。摩洛哥是受这一现象影响最严重的国家之一；根据摩洛哥毒物控制和药物警戒中心（CAPM）的统计数据，2016年至2022年期间，每年约有8565起蝎子蜇伤和中毒事件被记录下来，主要是儿童。通过文献综述，对摩洛哥特有蝎子进行了鉴定和分类，并探讨了气候变化对其分布的影响。资料来源包括科学期刊文章、大学论文和实地报告。对收集到的数据进行整理和分析，绘制了特有种分布图。我们的结果确定了摩洛哥55种特有物种和亚种。Buthidae科分布最广，有Buthus属的17个特有种，Androctonus属的9个，Butheoloides属的5个，Buthacus属的4个，Orthochirus属、Compsobuthus属和Hottentota属各2个，Microbuthus属、Cicileiurus属和撒哈拉Buthus属各1个。蝎科包括9个特有种和2个属于天蝎属的亚种。在摩洛哥南部观察到高度地方性，突出表明这些物种在该地区大量集中。持续的气候变化可能会扩大蝎子的数量和分布，以及中毒的数量。研究结果强调了实施控制和预防战略以减少环境污染风险的重要性，特别是在气候变化的背景下。因此，在深入了解物种分布及其栖息地的基础上制定管理和预防策略，以提高脆弱种群的安全性。

Endemic scorpion species and subspecies in Morocco: A comprehensive overview

Scorpion fauna is abundant in regions with arid and semi-arid climates, exposing these areas to a risk of envenomation, especially for children. Scorpion envenomations cause thousands of deaths each year, with notable incidences in the MENA region, South America, Latin and Central America, and India. Morocco is one of the countries most affected by this phenomenon; according to statistics from the Moroccan Poison Control and Pharmacovigilance Center (CAPM), approximately 8565 scorpion stings and envenomations were recorded annually between 2016 and 2022, mainly among children. A literature review was conducted to identify and catalog the endemic scorpion species in Morocco and explore the impact of climate change on their distribution. Sources included scientific journal articles, university theses, and field reports. The collected data were compiled and analyzed to create a distribution map of the endemic species. Our results identified fifty-five endemic species and subspecies in Morocco. The family Buthidae is the most widespread, with seventeen endemic species of the genus Buthus, nine of the genus Androctonus, five of the genus Butheoloides, four of the genus Buthacus, two each of the genera Orthochirus, Compsobuthus, and Hottentota, and one species each of the genera Microbuthus, Cicileiurus, and Saharobuthus. The family Scorpionidae includes nine endemic species, and two subspecies belonging to the genus Scorpio. A high level of endemism is observed in southern Morocco, highlighting a significant concentration of these species in this region. Ongoing climate change is likely to expand the population and distribution of scorpions, as well as the number of envenomations. The results underscore the importance of implementing control and prevention strategies to reduce the risks of envenomation, particularly in the context of climate change. Therefore, to develop management and prevention strategies is based on a thorough understanding of species distribution and their habitats to improve the safety of vulnerable populations.

期刊介绍： Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee. Toxicon''s "aims and scope" are to publish: -articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms -papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins -molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins -clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained. -material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems. -articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides -epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged. -articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon. -review articles on problems related to toxinology. To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.
