A polygeneric immunogen composed of 22 venoms from sub-Saharan African snakes to expand the neutralization scope of the EchiTAb-plus-ICP antivenom [PDF]

Toxicon: X
Recent research suggests that a polygeneric immunogen made from the venoms of the most medically important viperid and elapid snakes in sub-Saharan Africa could elicit a broader antibody response in horses compared to the current EchiTAb-plus-ICP ...

Crystal structure and functional characterization of an Asp49 phospholipase A₂ from the bushmaster (Lachesis muta). [PDF]

Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun
The crystal structure of an Asp49 phospholipase A2 from L. muta is reported, revealing a tetrameric assembly, catalytic conservation and a polarized electrostatic surface potentially linked to membrane targeting.Snake‐venom phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are small, structurally conserved enzymes that contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of ...

The Unusual Metalloprotease-Rich Venom Proteome of the Australian Elapid Snake Hoplocephalus stephensii

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 ...

Severe Pediatric Snakebite With Coagulopathy and Compartment Syndrome: Conservative Management With Plasma Exchange. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
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.

Severe hypertension in elapid envenomation [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Disease Research, 2013
Snakebite is not an uncommon medical emergency in India; however, symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in snakebite are rare. The elapid snake envenomation is a frequent occurrence in India, and the krait bite is prevalent in the south Indian region. Here, we present three cases of snakebite with severe hypertension and requiring intravenous nitroglycerin

Circular dichroic spectra of elapid cardiotoxins [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1988
Cardiotoxins isolated from elapid snake venoms constitute a chemically homogeneous family of molecules. Within this group several biologically different subclasses exist. We report a comparative analysis of the structure of 20 cardiotoxins using circular dichroism, immunological methods and secondary‐structure prediction.

ELAPID SNAKE BITE

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1987
Four patients were admitted with respiratory muscle paralysis following an elapid snake bite. Two were treated with antivenine, repeated doses of neostigmine and artificial ventilation; the other two with artificial ventilation only. There was no clinically significant difference in recovery.

Pro-inflammatory activities in elapid snake venoms [PDF]

Toxicon, 1994
Snake venoms from the genera Micrurus (M. ibiboboca and M. spixii) and Naja (N. naja, N. melanoleuca and N. nigricollis) were analysed, using biological and immunochemical methods, to detect pro‐inflammatory activities, cobra venom factor (COF), proteolytic enzymes, thrombin‐like substances, haemorrhagic and oedema‐producing substances.
