Functional and Proteomic Insights into Aculeata Venoms
, 2023 Aculeate hymenopterans use their venom for a variety of different purposes. The venom of solitary aculeates paralyze and preserve prey without killing it, whereas social aculeates utilize their venom in defence of their colony.

Multilevel comparison of Indian Naja venoms and their cross-reactivity with Indian polyvalent antivenoms [PDF]
, 2023 Snake envenoming is caused by many biological species, rather than a single infectious agent, each with a multiplicity of toxins in their venom. Hence, developing effective treatments is challenging, especially in biodiverse and biogeographically complex

Mast cells and IgE in defense against venoms: Possible “good side” of allergy?
Allergology International, 2016 Physicians think of mast cells and IgE primarily in the context of allergic disorders, including fatal anaphylaxis. This ‘bad side’ of mast cells and IgE is so well accepted that it can be difficult to think of them in other contexts, particularly those ...
