Researchers Develop Model to Predict Deadly Scorpion Hotspots
An international research team, including members from the University of Galway and Morocco's University Ibn Zohr, has developed a predictive model to identify global hotspots for lethal scorpion species. The study analyzed key environmental factors such as soil type and temperature that influence the distribution of these dangerous scorpions. Regions studied include central Morocco and Subic, Zambales in the Philippines. The model aims to improve prevention and treatment strategies for scorpion stings worldwide. The research was published on February 15, 2026, with contributions from Dr. Michel Dugon and Fouad Salhi. This work provides valuable insights for public health and safety in affected areas.
