Phenotypic effects of dissected venom on zebrafish. (A) Effects of intramuscular dissected C. tulipa venom from the proximal (P), proximal central (PC), distal central (DC) and distal (D) duct sections in adult zebrafish (0.1 μg i.m.) on swim distance was recorded for 15 min relative to the swim distance of untreated fish. (B) Dose dependent effects of C. tulipa crude venoms (0.001‒100 ng/μl) dosed in water on touch-evoked escape responses of 5-dpf zebrafish larvae. Untreated larvae showed an average escape response score of 9.5 (dotted line). For both experiments, data are expressed as the mean ± SEM obtained of six independent experiments.
