elapid: Species distribution modeling tools for Python [PDF]

Journal of Open Source Software, 2023
`elapid` is a geospatial analysis and a species distribution modeling package. It provides an interface between vector and raster data for selecting random point samples, annotating point locations with coincident raster data, and summarizing raster ...

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 ...

Deadly dormmate: A case study on Bungarus candidus living among a student dormitory with implications for human safety

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
1. Snakebite, which was reclassified as a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization in 2017, afflicts at least 1.8–2.7 million people worldwide each year.

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.

Heterologous expression, protein folding and antibody recognition of a neurotoxin from the Mexican coral snake Micrurus laticorallis

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2016
Background The cysteine-rich neurotoxins from elapid venoms are primarily responsible for human and animal envenomation; however, their low concentration in the venom may hamper the production of efficient elapid antivenoms.
