Brazilian Journal of BiologyPentastomids are parasites that infect respiratory cavities of vertebrates, they are pretty common but poorly known in wildlife veterinary. A Bothrops asper snake (Garman, 1884) was captured in the Caribbean region of Costa Rica and had its lung infested

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2012 In Mexico, medicinal plants are widely used. The use of Randia aculeata by healers against snakebites has never been scientifically tested in relation to possible effects on blood parameters and muscle tissue damage. Interviews were carried out in Jamapa,

Pathogenesis of myonecrosis induced by crude venom and a myotoxin of Bothrops asper
Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 1984 The pathogenesis of skeletal muscle necrosis induced by crude Bothrops asper venom and isolated myotoxic phospholipase was studied using light and electron microscopy. White mice were injected intramuscularly with a dose of 2.5 micrograms/g and tissue samples were taken at 30 min and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hr.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3881-3898, July 2026.Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study sequenced and annotated the complete 17,230 bp mitochondrial genome of Ovophis makazayazaya, which contains 13 protein‐coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a D‐loop region, with a significant AT bias (57.2%). Phylogenetic analyses confirmed its placement within Crotalinae, and all PCGs showed evidence of purifying selection (Ka/Ks < 1)

Antibody neutralization of a myotoxin from the venom of Bothrops asper (terciopelo)
Toxicon, 1987 Neutralization of biological activities of B. asper myotoxin by a monospecific anti-myotoxin rabbit serum and polyvalent antivenom was studied. Both antisera neutralized myotoxic, phospholipase A and lethal activities of myotoxin, whereas edema-forming activity of myotoxin was not neutralized by these antisera.

Protective effect of Dracontium dubium against Bothrops asper venom
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2017 In Colombia, Bothrops asper is responsible for 70-90% of ophidians accidents reported annually. Envenoming occurs mainly in rural areas where both antivenom and health centers are scarce. Thus, patients are frequently treated by local healers that employ medicinal herbs; including several species belonging to Dracontium genus.

Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...
