Veterinary Record, 2014
WE would like to invite veterinary practitioners to take part in a clinical trial of Europe's first dedicated veterinary snake antivenom, ViperaVet. This is directed against the venom of four medically important Vipera species found throughout western Europe, including the adder ( Vipera berus) , Britain's only native venomous snake. Between September

Toxin-resolved antivenomics-guided assessment of the immunorecognition landscape of antivenoms
Toxicon, 2018Snakebite envenoming represents a major issue in rural areas of tropical and subtropical regions across sub-Saharan Africa, South to Southeast Asia, Latin America and Oceania. Antivenoms constitute the only scientifically validated therapy for snakebite envenomings, provided they are safe, effective, affordable, accessible and administered ...

Time to reconstitution: purified Fab antivenom vs. unpurified IgG antivenom
Toxicon, 2001We conducted prospective, randomized analytical and observational trials to assess reconstitution times of two lyophilized crotaline snake antivenoms, Antivenin (Crotalidae) Polyvalent [Wyeth-Ayerst] (ACP) and affinity-purified, mixed monospecific crotalid antivenom ovine Fab (CroTAb) (Fab antivenom).

Scorpion envenomation and antivenom therapy
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1994The clinical course and outcome of scorpion envenomation in 52 children treated in a pediatric intensive care unit without specific antivenom were retrospectively evaluated and compared with those of scorpion envenomation in the 52 preceding cases treated with specific scorpion antivenom.

New Approaches in Antivenom Therapy
1996Snake bites are a major public health problem throughout the world, particularly in tropical countries where mortality and morbidity rates are very high. The specific treatment of ophidian envenomation is serotherapy. It consists in the empirical administration of large amounts of specific antivenoms.
