Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum
A 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 ...

Haematological evaluation of patients bitten by the jararaca, Bothrops jararaca, in Brazil
Complete blood counts are used frequently by physicians to assess and manage the development of complications of diseases. We studied 100 patients bitten by Bothrops jararaca snakes, and correlated their haematological values with the severity of envenoming and the development of complications.

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite
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.

The venom gland transcriptome of the Desert Massasauga Rattlesnake (): towards an understanding of venom composition among advanced snakes (Superfamily Colubroidea) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Snake venoms are complex mixtures of pharmacologically active proteins and peptides which belong to a small number of superfamilies. Global cataloguing of the venom transcriptome facilitates the identification of new families of toxins as ...
