Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

A Novel Vertebrate Prey Item of the Bicycle Dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus), with a Systematic Review of Ctenophorus Dragon (Lacertilia: Agamidae) Diets

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
A bicycle dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus) consumes a Jan's banded snake (Simoselaps bertholdi) near the Gawler Ranges National Park in South Australia. This observation is unusual because vertebrate prey make up a vanishingly small portion of the Ctenophorus dragon diet.

Detection Probabilities for Three Nocturnal Floodplain Snakes: Implications for Monitoring the Endangered Grey Snake Hemiaspis damelii in the Murray‐Darling Basin

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakes are experiencing global population decline due to habitat loss, environmental degradation, pollution and climate change, yet effective conservation is often hindered by their cryptic behaviour and low detectability. In this study, we conducted targeted surveys and estimated detection probabilities for the endangered grey snake ...

Discovery of Neuroprotective Venom‐Derived Candidates From Naja Mandalayensis in mHippoE‐18 Cells Via Fractionation and Proteomic Mapping

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2026.
Venom‐derived peptide diversity from Naja mandalayensis reveals bioactive subfractions capable of modulating neuronal oxidative stress responses. Integration of RP‐HPLC fractionation and proteomics identifies toxin families associated with improved mitochondrial function and cellular integrity in mHippoE‐18 cells, supporting venoms as a platform for ...

Investigating Snake-Venom-Induced Dermonecrosis and Inflammation Using an Ex Vivo Human Skin Model

Toxins
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that causes >100,000 deaths and >400,000 cases of morbidity annually. Despite the use of mouse models, severe local envenoming, defined by morbidity-causing local tissue necrosis, remains poorly ...

Polyamines as Snake Toxins and Their Probable Pharmacological Functions in Envenomation

Toxins, 2016
While decades of research have focused on snake venom proteins, far less attention has been paid to small organic venom constituents. Using mostly pooled samples, we surveyed 31 venoms (six elapid, six viperid, and 19 crotalid) for spermine, spermidine ...

Elapid venom toxins: multiple recruitments of ancient scaffolds [PDF]

, 1999
Nigroxins A and B, two myotoxic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) from the venom of the American elapid Micrurus nigrocinctus, belong to a new PLA2 subclass.

Molecular phylogeny of viviparous Australian elapid snakes: affinities of Echiopsis atriceps (Storr, 1980) and Drysdalia coronata (Schlegel, 1837), with description of a new genus [PDF]

, 2015
The rare Australian venomous elapid snake 'Echiopsis' atriceps has been the subject of considerable taxonomic instability with the five known specimens assigned to four genera by various authorities.
