Elapid Snake Envenomation in Dogs in New South Wales: A Review [PDF]
Australian Veterinary Journal, 2007 Elapid snake envenomation in dogs is a commonly occurring yet poorly described clinical entity. Twelve species of dangerously venomous elapid snakes are found in New South Wales that are capable of causing disease in dogs. Geographical distribution of these species varies, as does their venom composition and systemic envenomation syndromes produced in ...

Prey transport in “palatine‐erecting” elapid snakes
Journal of Morphology, 2003AbstractCobras and mambas are members of a group of elapid snakes supposedly united by the morphology and inferred behavior of their palatine bone during prey transport (palatine erectors). The palatine erectors investigated (Dendroaspis polylepis, Naja pallida, Ophiophagus hannah, Aspidelaps scutatus, A. lubricus) show differences in the morphology of

Cysteine Proteinase Inhibitors in Elapid and Hydrophiid Snake Venoms
Toxicon, 2002The ability of elapid and hydrophiid snake venoms to inhibit cathepsin L was tested. All nine species of elapid and three species of hydrophiid snake venoms tested showed inhibition against cathepsin L. All of these venoms tested also showed inhibition against papain as well as against cathepsin L. Among these venoms, two elapid (Laticauda semifasciata

Further studies on the mass of venom injected by Elapid snakes
Toxicon, 1983Further experimental studies to determine the mass of venom injected by medically-significant Australian elapids are reported. The use of a modified enzyme immunoassay technique to measure venom injected during snake bite is presented. The feeding biting pattern of the Australian eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) is described.

Proteins toxic to arthropods in the venom of elapid snakes
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1975It has been found that the lethal action of elapid snake venoms to arthropods (fly larvae and isopods) is due to proteic factors differing from the toxins which are strongly and specifically active on mammals. This conclusion was based on the following: (1) Lack of any correlation between the toxic activity on larvae, isopods, and mice of ten elapid

Identification and Characterization of Novel Reptile Cathelicidins From Elapid Snakes
Peptides, 2008Three cDNA sequences coding for elapid cathelicidins were cloned from constructed venom gland cDNA libraries of Naja atra, Bungarus fasciatus and Ophiophagus hannah. The open reading frames of the cloned elapid cathelicidins were all composed of 576bp and coded for 191 amino acid residue protein precursors. Each of the deduced elapid cathelicidin has a

Acetylcholinesterase in Elapid Snakes
1998Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) plays a key role in cholinergic transmission, but is also present in non-cholinergic contexts where its function is not clearly known (1). This is the case in pulmonary and intestinal epitheliums, salivary glands, or blood cells surface. AChE is a very abundant protein in the venom of some Elapids snakes (2–3).

Identification and discrimination of snake venoms from Egyptian elapids
Toxicon, 2013The avidity to the corresponding antigens is often higher than to the cross-reactive antigens. This was demonstrated with the highly cross-reactive elapid Egyptian snake venoms Naja haje (Nh), Naja nigricollis (Nn) and Walterinnesia aegyptia (Wa), and used for the differentiation among the three species in a simple ELISA-based assay.

Paraspecific protection by elapid and sea snake antivenins
Toxicon, 1967Abstract Seventeen elapid antivenins and one sea snake antivenin were tested for neutralizing activity against a panel of fifteen elapid venom samples (eight Naja, three Bungarus, one each of Ophiophagus, Hemachatus, Walterinnesia and Micrurus) and one sea snake (Enhydrina) sample. Assays were made by injecting mice subcutaneously with 2–10 ld 50 of

Immunotaxonomic relationships of sea snakes to terrestrial elapids
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1983Abstract 1. 1. Serum albumins of 7 species of sea snakes and 15 terrestrial elapids representing 5 subfamilies were compared using microcomplement fixation. 2. 2. Albumin data showed that (a) Laticauda is closely related to hydrophiines supporting earlier transferrin data and (b) that sea snakes are closer to Australasian elapids than to ...
