Detection of venom–antivenom (VAV) immunocomplexes in vitro as a measure of antivenom efficacy

Toxicon, 2014
The measurement of free venom with enzyme immunoassay in serum of patients with snake envenoming is used to confirm snake identification and to determine if sufficient antivenom has been given. Recent studies with Russell's viper (RV; Daboia russelii) envenoming have detected free venom post-antivenom despite recovery of coagulopathy.

Discrimination of highly similar stimuli as members of different equivalence classes

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Volume 123, Issue 2, Page 139-157, March 2025.
Abstract Learning to discriminate between physically similar stimuli as members of different classes can be relevant in certain situations. This study investigated effective methods of displaying two pairs of quasi‐identical stimuli, as samples and/or comparisons, during the training of baseline conditional discriminations.

Knowledge of local snakes, first‐aid and prevention of snakebites among community health workers and community members in rural Malawi: A cross‐sectional study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 84-92, February 2025.
Abstract Objective Snakebite envenoming remains a public health threat in many tropical countries. While community knowledge of local snakes and snakebite first‐aid and prevention are needed to reduce snakebite incidence and improve the outcomes for snakebite patients, it is poor in many communities.
