CISO: Species distribution modelling Conditioned on Incomplete Species Observations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 947-962, March 2026.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict species' geographic distributions, serving as critical tools for ecological research and conservation planning. Typically, SDMs relate species occurrences to environmental variables representing abiotic factors, such as temperature, precipitation, and soil properties.

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.

Coral snake venoms: mode of action and pathophysiology of experimental envenomation

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1987
Coral snakes, the New World Elapidae, are included in the genera Micniroides and Micrurus. The genus Mlcrurus comprises nearly all coral snake species and those which are responsible for human snake-bite accidents.

Snakes on Trains: Railways May Sway Goa's King Cobra Distribution

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Distribution of King Cobras (Ophiophagus kaalinga) across Goa, India, shows occurrence in climatically suitable forests and, notably, also along low‐suitability railway corridors, suggesting that snakes may be accidentally transported on trains, leading to range expansion.

Australian elapid snake envenomation in cats: Clinical priorities and approach

, 2017
Practical relevance: No fewer than 140 species of terrestrial snakes reside in Australia, 92 of which possess venom glands. With the exception of the brown tree snake, the venom-producing snakes belong to the family Elapidae.

Clinicopathological Features, Management, and Outcomes of Zebra Spitting Cobra (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) and Puff Adder (Bitis arietans) Snakebites in Namibia

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Snakebite envenomation remains an important public health concern in Namibia, particularly following bites from the zebra spitting cobra (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) and the puff adder (Bitis arietans). However, the clinical presentations and management outcomes of these snakebites remain poorly characterized.

Development of an Immunofluorescence Lateral Flow Assay for Detecting Four Medically Important Snake Venoms in China

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Snakebite envenomation requires rapid venom identification for effective treatment, a need unmet by current diagnostics in China. This study aimed to develop a rapid, multiplex immunofluorescence lateral flow assay for the simultaneous detection of four major venomous snakes: Deinagkistrodon acutus, Bungarus multicinctus, Naja atra, and Agkistrodon ...

Transcriptomic Insights Into the Evolution of Snake Venom: Mechanisms, Diversity, and Adaptation

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Snake venoms are evolutionarily refined biochemical arsenals composed of diverse toxins with complex functional roles in predation, defense, and competition. Over the past 2 decades, transcriptomic approaches have transformed venom research by enabling high‐resolution insights into gene expression dynamics, molecular diversity, and the evolutionary ...
