Snakebites are a serious problem in public health due to their high morbimortality. Most of snake venoms produce intense local tissue damage, which could lead to temporary or permanent disability in victims. The available specific treatment is the antivenom serum therapy, whose effectiveness is reduced against these effects.

Cloning and functional expression of secreted phospholipases A2 from Bothrops diporus (Yarará Chica) [PDF]
Bothrops diporus is a very common viper in Argentina. At present, no complete sequence of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) from this snake has been reported. We have cloned two sPLA2 isoenzymes as well as a putative sPLA2-like myotoxin from venom gland.
