Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.A fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...

Snakebite injuries in Hong Kong: A 10‐year review
Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Background Snakebite envenomation is a priority neglected tropical disease according to the World Health Organization. To address the issue, enhanced epidemiological evidence in endemic countries and an improved availability of snake antivenoms were proposed. Objectives To understand the local epidemiology of snakebite cases, promote awareness

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

A randomised controlled trial of two infusion rates to decrease reactions to antivenom.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundSnake envenoming is a major clinical problem in Sri Lanka, with an estimated 40,000 bites annually. Antivenom is only available from India and there is a high rate of systemic hypersensitivity reactions.
