PHYLOGENY OF SOME MIDDLE AMERICAN PITVIPERS BASED ON A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF MITOCHONDRIAL 12S AND 16S DNA SEQUENCE INFORMATION [PDF]
, 1999 The cladistic relationships of several Middle American pitvipers representing the genera Bothrops (sensu stricto), Bothriechis, Cerrophidion, Lachesis and Porthidium were determined using mitochondrial 12S and 16S DNA sequence information.

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 ...

Guidelines for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of snakebite envenoming of ruminants in Brazil [PDF]
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2022 : In Brazil, snakebites are often cited as a cause of mortality in ruminants, but there are discrepancies in the literature regarding its actual prevalence, either by lack of diagnosis or by mistakes in the differential diagnosis.

A snake of a different color: physiological color change in Arizona black rattlesnakes [PDF]
, 2011 Coloration may serve a variety of behavioral (e.g., crypsis, communication) and physiological (e.g., thermoregulation, protection) functions for terrestrial ectotherms. However, optimal coloration for a given function may vary over environments (spatial

Evolution of the eyes of vipers with and without infrared-sensing pit organs [PDF]
, 2019 We examined lens and brille transmittance, photoreceptors, visual pigments, and visual opsin gene sequences of viperid snakes with and without infrared-sensing pit organs. Ocular media transmittance is high in both groups.
