Scorpion venom is a highly complicated cocktail of bioactive components including mucoproteins, enzymes, lipids, bioactive peptides, and other organic or inorganic molecules. Scorpion venom antimicrobial peptides are a class of small-molecule bioactive peptides extracted from scorpion venoms, which have shown a variety of biological activities, including antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor actions. This review describes the progress of researches on the antiparasitic activities of scorpion venoms and their antimicrobial peptides, so as to provide insights into the research and development of novel antiparasitic agents.
