Do New World pitvipers “scale‐down” at high elevations? Macroecological patterns of scale characters and body size

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 16, Page 9362-9375, August 2019., 2019
New World Pitvipers show a contra‐Bergmann's pattern between elevation and body size. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the macroecological pattern of increasing body size in response to higher latitudes and elevations. This pattern is extensively documented in endothermic vertebrates, within and among species; however, studies involving ectotherms ...

Purification and biological effects of a C-type lectin isolated from Bothrops moojeni

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010
Snake venom proteins from the C-type lectin family have very distinct biological activities despite their highly conserved primary structure, which is homologous to the carbohydrate recognition region of true C-type lectins.

Neotropical Snakes Reveal Different Geological Times for Dispersal Corridors Between Amazon and Atlantic Forests

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera (Bothrops, Philodryas, and Micrurus) from different families (Viperidae ...

Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Local Tissue Damage Induced by Snake Venoms: An Overview from Traditional Use to Pharmacological Evidence

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
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.

Snake Venom PLA2, a Promising Target for Broad‐Spectrum Antivenom Drug Development

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Snakebite envenomation is a neglected global health problem, causing substantial mortality, disability, and psychological morbidity, especially in rural tropical and subtropical zones. Antivenin is currently the only specific medicine for envenomation. However, it is restricted by cold storage, snakebite diagnosis, and high price.
