Proof of concept: could snake venoms be a potential source of bioactive compounds for control of mould growth and mycotoxin production

open access: yesLetters in Applied Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 459-465, November 2020., 2020
Significance and Impact of this Study: In all, 10 different snake venoms were examined as new sources of natural crop protection compounds. Using a Bioscreen C rapid assay optical density approach, it was possible to screen and identify snake venoms and fractions which could inhibit growth and/or mycotoxin production by five different mycotoxigenic ...

Low-level laser therapy decreases local effects induced by myotoxins isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The prominent myotoxic effects induced by Bothrops jararacussu crude venom are due, in part, to its polycationic myotoxins, BthTX-I and BthTX-II. Both myotoxins have a phospholipase A2 structure: BthTX-II is an active enzyme Asp-49 PLA2, while BthTX-I is

Habitat determinants of golden‐headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas) occupancy of cacao agroforests: Gloomy conservation prospects for management intensification

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 82, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020
Determining factors for the golden‐headed lion tamarin occupancy of cocoa agroforests, and potential consequences of the management intensification on the populations. Abstract Organismal distributions in human‐modified landscapes largely depend on the capacity of any given species to adapt to changes in habitat structure and quality. The golden‐headed

Acidic Phospholipase A2‐Peptide Derivative Modulates Oxidative Status and Microstructural Reorganization of Scar Tissue after Cutaneous Injury

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
From in vitro and in vivo models, the proliferative and healing potential of an acidic phospholipase A2 (LAPLA2) from Lachesis muta venom was investigated. The LAPLA2 proliferative activity was evaluated on fibroblasts and keratinocytes cultured, and the antioxidant and regenerative potential of LAPLA2 was analyzed in a murine model.

Envenomations by Bothrops and Crotalus snakes induce the release of mitochondrial alarmins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
Skeletal muscle necrosis is a common manifestation of viperid snakebite envenomations. Venoms from snakes of the genus Bothrops, such as that of B. asper, induce muscle tissue damage at the site of venom injection, provoking severe local pathology which ...

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy in a venomous snake (Bothrops asper) bite victim. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Trop Med Hyg, 2012
An 18-year-old man developed posterior reversible leukoencephalopaty after being bitten by a venomous snake (Bothrops asper). It is possible that this previously unrecognized neurological complication of snake bite envenoming occurred as the result of endothelial dysfunction induced by the venom of the offending snake.
