A rare case report of Russell's viper snakebite with ischemic stroke

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 95-97, March 2018., 2018
Ischemic stroke following snakebite is rare. We report a case of a 55‐year‐old male who developed headache with expressive aphasia following a Russell's viper bite. Computed tomography scan of the brain revealed infarcts in bilateral frontal lobes.

Antivenom against Crotalus durissus terrificus venom: Immunochemical reactivity and experimental neutralizing capacity

Toxicon, 2017
The venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus produces a neurotoxic and myotoxic syndrome that can lead to the death. Specific antivenom is the only treatment to neutralize the toxicity of the venom and the precocity in applying the antivenom is crucial for the efficiency of the treatment.

The Proteome of African Spitting and Non‐Spitting Cobra Venoms and Cytotoxicity Against Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 2055-2067, October 2025.
ABSTRACT African cobra (Naja spp.) venom contains toxins dominated by proteins and peptides with inter‐ and intra‐specific variations. There are several FDA‐approved drugs from snake venom toxins from other regions, including South America and Asia. Profiling the proteomes of medically important African cobra venoms from different locations will aid in

Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

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.

Prey specificity of predatory venoms

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

Snake venom toxins: Potential anticancer therapeutics

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 666-685, May 2024.
Abstract Snake venom contains a cocktail of compounds dominated by proteins and peptides, which make up the toxin. The toxin components of snake venom attack several targets in the human body including the neuromuscular system, kidney and blood coagulation system and cause pathologies. As such, the venom toxins can be managed and used for the treatment
