Buzz Kill: Function and Proteomic Composition of Venom from the Giant Assassin Fly <i>Dolopus genitalis</i> (Diptera: Asilidae)

Buzz Kill: Function and Proteomic Composition of Venom from the Giant Assassin Fly <i>Dolopus genitalis</i> (Diptera: Asilidae)

Assassin flies (Diptera: Asilidae) inject paralysing venom into insect prey during hunting, but their venoms are poorly characterised in comparison to those produced by spiders, scorpions, or hymenopteran insects. Here we investigated the composition of the venom of the giant Australian assassin fly...
