Distinct regulatory networks control toxin gene expression in elapid and viperid snakes

BMC Genomics
Background 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 ...

Kleptoparasitism in Micrurus mipartitus (Squamata, Elapidae) competing for the same Caecilia sp. (Gymnophiona, Caeciliidae) in western Colombia [PDF]

Herpetozoa
Kleptoparasitism, or food theft, is seldom reported in wild populations of snakes. Here, we describe as case where two Red-tailed Coral Snakes, Micrurus mipartitus, were observed competing for the same caecilian prey, either Caecilia leucocephala or C ...

Immunological Cross‐Reactivity and Neutralizing Efficacy of Antivenom Against Five Medically Important Iranian Viper Venoms

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Investigating Iranian viper venoms reveals compositional and antigenic diversity impacting antivenom efficacy. The study highlights the need to incorporate both broadly cross‐reactive and specifically under‐represented venoms into immunization mixtures to optimize paraspecific protection strategies.

Mitochondrial DNA discriminates distinct population of two deadly snakes (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Northeast India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The DNA data of Indian snakes are scanty in the global database, especially from the northeastern states. The present study generated the mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene information of two morphologically identified deadly elapid species from Mizoram ...

Engineering Antivenom: Research Progress and Future Directions in Snakebite Envenoming Therapy

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Snakebite envenoming therapy is evolving from plasma‐derived antivenoms toward rationally engineered therapeutics. Advances in toxicovenomics, structural biology, antibody engineering, computational protein design, recombinant expression, small‐molecule inhibitors, and diagnostics are enabling toxin‐centric development of safer, more effective, and ...

Generalization of predator recognition: Velvet geckos display anti-predator behaviours in response to chemicals from non-dangerous elapid snakes

Current Zoology, 2010
Many prey species detect chemical cues from predators and modify their behaviours in ways that reduce their risk of predation. Theory predicts that prey should modify their anti-predator responses according to the degree of threat posed by the predator ...

Proteomic insight into the venom composition of the largest European rear-fanged snake, Malpolon monspessulanus monspessulanus

Toxicon: X, 2022
Snake envenomations constitute a worldwide neglected tropical disease, with the vast majority of lethal bites inflicted by front-fanged snakes from the viperid and elapid groups.

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.
