Acute toxic effects of Bothrops atrox venom on calcium homeostasis and bone tissue in mice [PDF]
Toxicon: XBothrops atrox is a terrestrial pit viper inhabiting the Amazon region. The venom of B. atrox acts almost immediately at the site of the bite, leading to significant tissue damage, but also affects different organs.

Comparative Hemostatic Effects of <i>Bothrops</i> spp. and <i>Daboia russelii</i> Venoms. [PDF]
Biochem Res IntVenoms from Bothrops species and Daboia russelii are among the leading causes of venom‐induced coagulopathy and snakebite‐related deaths. In this study, we comparatively evaluated the biochemical composition and hemostatic effects of venoms from seven Bothrops species and D. russelii using protein profiling and functional coagulation assays.

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum. [PDF]
ChemMedChemA fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...

Individual Variability in Bothrops atrox Snakes Collected from Different Habitats in the Brazilian Amazon: New Findings on Venom Composition and Functionality [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Differences in snake venom composition occur across all taxonomic levels and it has been argued that this variation represents an adaptation that has evolved to facilitate the capture and digestion of prey and evasion of predators.
