The Venom Proteome of the Ecologically Divergent Australian Elapid, Southern Death Adder <i>Acanthophis antarcticus</i>. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)The composition of Australian snake venoms is the least well-known of any continent. We characterised the venom proteome of the southern death adder Acanthophis antarcticus—one of the world’s most morphologically and ecologically divergent elapids. Using

A comparative phylogenetic approach for the evolution of melanism in elapid snakes supports the Bogert's rule [PDF]
Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 3, Page 289-297, July 2025.Melanism is a common trait in vertebrates. While in endotherms, melanism has been primarily associated with the protection against oxidative stress caused by incoming UV radiation, in ectotherms, it is far less understood.

Toxins, 2022 The Australasian region is home to the most diverse elapid snake radiation on the planet (Hydrophiinae). Many of these snakes have evolved into unique ecomorphs compared to elapids on other continents; however, their venom compositions are poorly known ...

A Quest for a Universal Plasma-Derived Antivenom Against All Elapid Neurotoxic Snake Venoms
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 This review describes the research aimed at the development of universal antivenom against elapid neurotoxic snake venoms. The antivenoms produced in Thailand in the 1980s were of low potency, especially against the elapid venoms.

Polyvalent Snake Antivenoms: Production Strategy and Their Therapeutic Benefits. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2023 Snake envenomation remains an important yet neglected medical problem in many countries, with around five million people affected, and over a hundred thousand deaths annually. Plasma-derived antivenoms are the main therapeutic agent available. Monovalent

Toxins, 2021 Some Australian elapids possess potently procoagulant coagulotoxic venoms which activate the zymogen prothrombin into the functional enzyme thrombin. Although the activity of Australian elapid prothrombin-activators has been heavily investigated with ...

Elapid Snake Venom Analyses Show the Specificity of the Peptide Composition at the Level of Genera Naja and Notechis [PDF]
Toxins, 2014 Elapid snake venom is a highly valuable, but till now mainly unexplored, source of pharmacologically important peptides. We analyzed the peptide fractions with molecular masses up to 10 kDa of two elapid snake venoms—that of the African cobra, N.

Non-conventional toxins from Elapid venoms
Toxicon, 2003 Non-conventional toxins constitute a poorly characterized class of three-finger toxins isolated exclusively from Elapidae venoms. These toxins are monomers of 62-68 amino acid residues and contain five disulfide bridges. However, unlike alpha/kappa-neurotoxins and kappa-neurotoxins which have the fifth disulfide bridge in their middle loop (loop II ...
