Severe Pediatric Snakebite With Coagulopathy and Compartment Syndrome: Conservative Management With Plasma Exchange

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
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.

Snakebites in Cameroon by Species Whose Effects Are Poorly Described

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Snakes responsible for bites are rarely identified, resulting in a loss of information about snakebites from venomous species whose venom effects are poorly understood.

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.

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 ...

Virus-like particles displaying conserved toxin epitopes stimulate polyspecific, murine antibody responses capable of snake venom recognition

Scientific Reports, 2022
Antivenom is currently the first-choice treatment for snakebite envenoming. However, only a low proportion of antivenom immunoglobulins are specific to venom toxins, resulting in poor dose efficacy and potency.

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.
