Protease Activity Profiling of Snake Venoms Using High-Throughput Peptide Screening
Toxins, 2019 Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) and snake venom serine proteinases (SVSPs) are among the most abundant enzymes in many snake venoms, particularly among viperids. These proteinases are responsible for some of the clinical manifestations classically

Zoo Biology, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 556-569, November/December 2024.In this study, we describe the trends in reptile holdings across UK zoos. Our results show that despite an overall increase in reptile numbers, there has been a dramatic decline in the number of venomous snakes being kept at UK zoos, and, as a consequence, venomous snakes are being excluded from many of the conservation benefits that zoos provide ...

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2024.Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary ABSTRACT Oligoclonal antibodies, which are carefully defined mixtures of monoclonal antibodies, are valuable for the treatment of complex diseases, such as infectionss and cancer. In addition to these areas of medicine, they could be utilized for the treatment of snakebite envenoming, where recombinantly produced ...

Challenges of regulating commercial use of marine elapid snakes in the Indo‐Pacific
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.Abstract Marine elapid snakes are a diverse, predominantly Indo‐West Pacific species group. The persistent removal of some species has an unquantified but potentially dire impact on populations. We conducted the first comprehensive review of the trade in marine elapid snakes based on published literature (1974–2022) and trade data from the only species

The diversity of bioactive proteins in Australian snake venoms [PDF]
, 2007 Australian elapid snakes are among the most venomous in the world. Their venoms contain multiple components that target blood hemostasis, neuromuscular signaling, and the cardiovascular system.

Why Australian farmers should not kill venomous snakes
Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 415-425, August 2024.Although highly venomous, Australian Brownsnakes kill very few people, and can strongly reduce the abundance of rodents on agricultural land. Tolerating snakes rather than killing them can enhance farm productivity and reduce the risk of snakebite.

Toxins, 2016 Antivenom neutralization against cobra venoms is generally low in potency, presumably due to poor toxin-specific immunoreactivity. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of two elapid antivenoms to neutralize the principal toxins purified from

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 350-381, July 2024.ABSTRACT Curracurrang 1 (1CU5) is a rockshelter site located in the Royal National Park (RNP) on the coast south of Sydney. Excavated from 1962 to 1966, the site's rich Holocene cultural deposit has become important for understanding regional Late Holocene developments in Australian lithic and shell technologies.
