Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 16, Page 9362-9375, August 2019., 2019 New World Pitvipers show a contra‐Bergmann's pattern between elevation and body size. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the macroecological pattern of increasing body size in response to higher latitudes and elevations. This pattern is extensively documented in endothermic vertebrates, within and among species; however, studies involving ectotherms ...

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of viper venom serine proteases [PDF]
, 2012 Snakebites are a major neglected tropical disease responsible for as many as 95000 deaths every year worldwide. Viper venom serine proteases disrupt haemostasis of prey and victims by affecting various stages of the blood coagulation system.

Toxicon, 2001 Venoms from snakes of the genus Bothrops cause pronounced local effects in the victims. These alterations result not only from the direct toxic action of venom components, but also from the prominent inflammatory reaction associated with these envenomations.

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Viper snake Crotalus durissus ruruima (Cdr) is a subspecies found in northern area of Brazil. Among the snakes of Crotalus genus subspecies, the venom of Cdr presents highest level of crotoxin, which is the major component of Crotalus snake venoms, formed by two subunits (crotapotin and a phospholipase A2 named CBr) and presents potent neurotoxic ...

Snake venom toxins: Potential anticancer therapeutics
Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 666-685, May 2024.Abstract Snake venom contains a cocktail of compounds dominated by proteins and peptides, which make up the toxin. The toxin components of snake venom attack several targets in the human body including the neuromuscular system, kidney and blood coagulation system and cause pathologies. As such, the venom toxins can be managed and used for the treatment
