The Paulista wasp is a social wasp that lives in colonies of thousands of wasps. It is found in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Scientists are studying its venom because some of its peptides (small protein-like molecules) may one day help treat cancer and epilepsy.1

It lives in tropical areas and builds its nests where they are protected from weathering. Up to three colonies can share the same location, and swarms appear from time to time.1

Workers forage for water, plant fibre or pulp, animal protein and carbohydrates. Animal protein is used to feed the larvae, and adults feed mainly on cactus fruits when these are plentiful.1

  • Lives in a colony with a division of labour between young, middle-aged and older wasps1

The venom contains several peptides. These cause pain, swelling (oedema) and haemolysis, which means they break down red blood cells. They also trigger an inflammatory response, which causes physical discomfort.1

Wasps use venom to defend themselves and their colony against predators, and workers defend the nest.1

Xibaar

1

A peptide in the venom, called Polybia-MP1, kills cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact, according to research so far. Further studies are needed to confirm it is safe as a chemotherapy drug.1

2

The venom contains mastoparan, which has been shown to inhibit the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the cause of Chagas disease.1

3

Workers cool the nest by fanning their wings and spreading water on the combs, so the water evaporates and lowers the temperature.1

4

Colonies can contain from 10 to 94 queens, because young queens are constantly recruited.1

5

A colony can hold about 4,500 wasps during its early stage, and up to 13,000 wasps while males are being produced.1
