Epidemiology and characteristics of coral snake bites reported to the National Poison Data System (2006‒2022)

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Objectives North American coral snake envenomations can result in life‐threatening neurotoxicity. Their bites are relatively rare, making large studies difficult. Using the National Poison Data System (NPDS), we sought to investigate the epidemiological trends and clinical outcomes associated with North American coral snake bites over a 17 ...

Assessing the preclinical efficacy of antivenoms: From the lethality neutralization assay to antivenomics

Toxicon, 2013
The assessment of the capacity of antivenoms to neutralize the lethal activity of snake venoms is the gold standard in the preclinical analysis of antivenom efficacy, and is routinely performed by manufacturers and quality control laboratories. However, the complexity of snake venom composition and toxicological profile demands that, for many venoms ...

Treatment response and clinical features of snakebite envenomation in Alborz province, Iran: A cross‐sectional study

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Background Snakebite envenomation is a significant yet neglected public health burden. Our aim was to investigate the clinical and demographic factors of snakebite envenomation, as well as the factors associated with its severity and response to treatment, in Alborz province, northern Iran. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, we included 50

Retrospective study on the incidence of envenomation and accessibility to antivenom in Burkina Faso [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Snakebite is a common neglected public health issue, especially in poor rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America. Passive immunotherapy with safe and effective antivenom is the only approved treatment for it. This study aimed

Peering into the unknown world of amphisbaenians (Squamata, Amphisbaenia): A summary of the life history of Amphisbaena alba

Acta Zoologica, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 539-550, October 2024.
Abstract Capturing data on the life of fossorial vertebrates is difficult since access to the subterranean environment is made unfeasible by its density and opacity. Collecting specimens is only possible through excavation work, causing damage or even death to the specimens.

Neutralizing capacity of a new monovalent anti-Bothrops atrox antivenom: comparison with two commercial antivenoms

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Three horse-derived antivenoms were tested for their ability to neutralize lethal, hemorrhagic, edema-forming, defibrinating and myotoxic activities induced by the venom of Bothrops atrox from Antioquia and Chocó (Colombia). The following antivenoms were

Identification of presynaptic neurotoxin complexes in the venoms of three Australian copperheads (Austrelaps spp.) and the efficacy of tiger snake antivenom to prevent or reverse neurotoxicity [PDF]

, 2011
The venom of the Australian lowlands copperhead, Austrelaps superbus, produces significant and potentially lethal neurotoxic paralysis in cases of clinical envenomation. However, little is known about the neurotoxic components within this venom or venoms
