Venom-Induced Blood Disturbances by Palearctic Viperid Snakes, and Their Relative Neutralization by Antivenoms and Enzyme-Inhibitors

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Palearctic vipers are medically significant snakes in the genera Daboia, Macrovipera, Montivipera, and Vipera which occur throughout Europe, Central Asia, Near and Middle East.

in silico Study Reveals Potential Docking Sites of δ 2-isoxazolines derivates for Inhibiting Russell’s Viper PLA2 Toxin [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2021
Snake venom phospholipase A2s (svPLA2s) has been known as the most abundant component and predominant cause of Russell’s viper envenomation. Limitation to serum therapy and considerable pharmacological interest led the researcher to syn-thesized multi ...

Climatic adaptation explains responses to Pleistocene oscillations and diversification in European vipers

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 1838-1851, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Allopatric speciation is the primary mode of diversification in the Mediterranean Basin. However, the contribution of climatic adaptation during this process is contradictory. In this work, we investigate the eco‐evolutionary processes that drove diversification in this region, using European vipers as a case study.

Rodents and reptiles as bioindicators for assessing coastal dune restoration success following invasive acacia removal

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023
Although there is adequate knowledge on restoring many invaded habitats, information regarding faunal recovery is still lacking, particularly regarding sandy coastal ecosystems. An important challenge for assessing restoration effectiveness is the selection of an appropriate bioindicator.

Priapism following a juvenile Russell's viper bite: An unusual case report.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Following a bite from a juvenile Russell's viper (Daboia russelii), a priapism (painful erection) developed rapidly in a 16-year-old male and only subsided after administration of antivenom 3 hours later.

Blood coagulation factors and platelet response to drug‐induced hepatitis and hepatosis in rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 66-73, February 2023., 2023
Head‐to‐head comparison of hemostasis system parameters at drug‐induced hepatitis vs hepatosis in rats was performed. It was assumed that hemostasis system parameters should be monitored thoughtfully during liver diseases to avoid possible thrombotic complications and information about hemostasis system conditions can indicate the rate and character of

Overlooked species diversity in the hyper‐arid Sahara Desert unveiled by dryland‐adapted lizards

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 101-115, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Hyper‐arid sandy and rocky fields rank among the least biologically diverse habitats of the desert biome, yet knowledge of local biodiversity patterns is also extremely poor. In the Sahara Desert, palaeoclimate oscillations affected the extent of hyper‐arid habitats, but it is unclear how these dynamics determined the evolution and ...
