Allopurinol attenuates acute kidney injury following Bothrops jararaca envenomation [PDF]
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Snakebites have been recognized as a neglected public health problem in several tropical and subtropical countries. Bothrops snakebites frequently complicate with acute kidney injury (AKI) with relevant morbidity and mortality. To date, the only treatment available for Bothrops envenomation is the intravenous administration of antivenom despite its ...

Antivenom Production against Bothrops jararaca and Bothrops erythromelas Snake Venoms Using Cross-Linked Chitosan Nanoparticles as an Immunoadjuvant [PDF]
Toxins, 2018 In Brazil, envenomation by snakes of the genus Bothrops is clinically relevant, particularly for the species Bothrops jararaca and B. erythromelas. The most effective treatment for envenomation by snakes is the administration of antivenoms associated ...

Population Dynamics of the Critically Endangered Golden Lancehead Pitviper, Bothrops insularis: Stability or Decline? [PDF]
, 2014 Little is known about vital rates of snakes generally because of the difficulty in collecting data. Here we used a robust design mark-recapture model to estimate survival, behavioral effects on capture probability, temporary emigration, abundance and ...

Anti-hemorrhagic effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of the leaves of Mikania glomerata in lesions induced by Bothrops jararaca venom in rats [PDF]
Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2014 PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of hydroalcoholic leaf extract of Mikania glomerata Spreng (Asteraceae) on the activity of Bothrops jararaca snake venom in Wistar rats. METHODS: Fifty four rats Wistar were divided into six groups of nine animals

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change or economic processes). We explored the factors shaping 9 conservation attitudes toward forest and wildlife

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of Bothrops venom serine protease peptidic inhibitors [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2021 Background: In Central and South America, snakebite envenomation is mainly caused by Bothrops spp. snakes, whose venoms feature significant biochemical richness, including serine proteases.

Environmental drivers of tropical forest snake phenology: Insights from citizen science
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 We used long‐term time‐series data to investigate the environmentally driven changes in the activity patterns of 25 snake species in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Overall, we found snake activity patterns were largely driven by temperature and humidity, with venomous and non‐venomous species responding differently to climate.

Species out of sight: elucidating the determinants of research effort in global reptiles
Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 More than two million species have been described so far, but our knowledge on most taxa remains scarce or inexistent, and the available biodiversity data is often taxonomically, phylogenetically and spatially biased. Unevenness in research effort across species or regions can interact with data biases and compromise our ability to properly study and ...

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Emerging infectious diseases are negatively impacting herpetofaunal populations globally, posing a major conservation threat. Anthropogenic perturbations of natural habitats may influence wildlife disease dynamics and spillover events. Although viral and fungal diseases of vertebrates have received considerable studies, there is scant information on ...

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical forests are recognized for their role in providing diverse ecosystem services (ESs), with carbon uptake the best recognized. The capacity of tropical forests to provide ESs is strongly linked to their enormous biodiversity. However, causal relationships between biodiversity and ESs are poorly understood.
