Severe Pediatric Snakebite With Coagulopathy and Compartment Syndrome: Conservative Management With Plasma Exchange

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Therapeutic plasma exchange was successfully used in a child with severe snakebite envenomation complicated by refractory venom‐induced consumptive coagulopathy and suspected compartment syndrome, leading to full recovery and avoidance of surgical intervention.

Inflammation induced by snake venoms optimizes envenomation

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 14, Page 5831-5852, 15 July 2026.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustrating mechanisms underlying direct vascular absorption and subsequent movement of venom toxins into the tissues consequent to snakebite. A, snakebite into prey deposits venom toxins into the tissue interstitium, with the venom then causing acute inflammation primarily in venules.

The Effectiveness of Antibiotics in Managing Bacterial Infections on Bite Sites following Snakebite Envenomation

Toxins, 2023
Snakebite envenomation (SBE) is a life-threatening medical emergency with a high mortality rate. Common secondary complications following SBE, such as wound infections, are significant due to their impact on worsening local tissue damage and causing ...

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Ovophis makazayazaya (Viperidae, Crotalinae) and Phylogenetic Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study sequenced and annotated the complete 17,230 bp mitochondrial genome of Ovophis makazayazaya, which contains 13 protein‐coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a D‐loop region, with a significant AT bias (57.2%). Phylogenetic analyses confirmed its placement within Crotalinae, and all PCGs showed evidence of purifying selection (Ka/Ks < 1)

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
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.
