Systemic impact of intramuscular snake envenomation and intravenous immunoglobulin‐based antivenom treatment on murine plasma proteome and peptidome

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel protein scaffold from the snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.

Toxicity and symptomatic identification of species involved in snakebites in the Indian subcontinent

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2006
Snakebites, being the major occupational hazard for farm workers, claim a large number of lives in the Indian subcontinent. During the course of medical management, identification of the biting species is given a low priority, resorting to prescription ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Anti-cobra venom activity of plant Andrographis paniculata and its comparison with polyvalent anti-snake venom

Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine, 2011
To investigate the anti-cobra venom effect of alcoholic extract of Andrographis paniculata.After calculating the LD(99) of snake venom, the venom-neutralizing ability of plant extract at the dose 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg was determined using in vitro and in vivo methods. The alleviation in the mean survival time of the animals were used to infer the antivenom

Searching for the beasts in the archive as methodological praxis

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
This article offers searching for the beasts in the archive as a methodological tool available to researchers invested in both anticolonialism and antianthropocentrism. By focusing on three basic units of reference—categories, histories, and borders—the article shows how searching for the beasts unsettles some taken‐for‐granted assumptions that ...

Medicinal Plants of Chhattisgarh with Anti-Snake Venom Property

, 2012
Snakebite is a major health hazard that leads to high mortality rate especially in India. Sincethe last century, antivenom immunotherapy is the only specific treatment against snakevenom envenomation. However, antiserum does not provide enough protection againstvenom induced hemorrhage, necrosis, nephrotoxicity and often develops ...

Can Inhibitors of Snake Venom Phospholipases A2 Lead to New Insights into Anti-Inflammatory Therapy in Humans? A Theoretical Study

Toxins, 2017
Human phospholipase A2 (hPLA2) of the IIA group (HGIIA) catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids, producing arachidonic acid and originating potent inflammatory mediators.
