“…These findings are congruent with the theory of the introduction of the scorpions to Buenos Aires city, which would have arrived in wood from the north of the country through the railways and train stations in the beginning of the 20th century [11]. These are located principally at the east of the city in concordance of the zones with higher density of findings [16,17,22] (Figure 3 and Figure 4). However in the last years scorpions begun to be found in the west and southwest, as can be observed in Figure 3a–e.…”

“…Possibly, the scorpion colonized the center of Argentina, and especially, the big cities like Buenos Aires when it was transported with the wood used for the construction of train and metro stations [11]. The first studies on T. trivittatus distribution in Buenos Aires suggested a relation between the finding of this scorpion and the metro railways [10,11], which was confirmed 20 years later with new studies [16,17] (Figure 3). In a big city like Buenos Aires, with scarce natural predators and the “protection” of the basements, underground galleries, underground water or electric chambers, underground metro railways, building plumbing (specially in old buildings) and other architectonic characteristics of the constructions, especially in the oldest regions of the city, this scorpion can very easily survive.…”

“…[16][17][18] Este aumento de hallazgos podría señalar la mejoría del sistema para recoger y registrar los casos y/o indicar una mayor probabilidad de contacto hombre-escorpión y, por lo tanto, un mayor riesgo de ocurrencia de envenenamientos.…”

“…En este trabajo, describimos y analizamos la distribución temporal y geográfica de los registros confirmados de hallazgo de T. trivittatus de la CABA y registrados en el Área Investigación y Desarrollo del Instituto Nacional de Producción de Biológicos, durante el período del 10/1/2001 al 31/12/2012, y ampliamos la información comunicada parcialmente en trabajos previos. [16][17][18]21 El objetivo de este trabajo fue, debido a sus implicancias sanitarias, analizar los datos disponibles sobre hallazgos y distribución de T. trivittatus y su relación con los centros de atención toxicológica y con los que disponen del antiveneno escorpiónico específico a fin de evaluar posibles medidas preventivas y estrategias terapéuticas referidas a la accesibilidad a dichos centros.…”
