Molecular evidence for the first records of facultative parthenogenesis in elapid snakes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction by which embryos develop from unfertilized eggs. Parthenogenesis occurs in reptiles; however, it is not yet known to occur in the widespread elapid snakes (Elapidae), which include well-known taxa such as

One Bite, Two Severe Envenomations Despite Antivenom Therapy: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT This case report describes a 12‐year‐old child who was bitten by a cobra and developed two distinct systemic neurotoxic episodes, 19 h apart, along with severe local envenoming, despite receiving appropriate treatment with antivenom and making a full recovery.

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

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.

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.

Distinct regulatory networks control toxin gene expression in elapid and viperid snakes
bioRxiv, 2023 Venom systems are ideal models to study genetic regulatory mechanisms that underpin evolutionary novelty. Snake venom glands are thought to share a common origin, but there are major distinctions between venom toxins from the medically significant snake ...
