Acute splenic hematoma: A rare complication of snake bite

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2024.
Key Clinical Message Splenic hematoma secondary to snake bite is a potential complication due to snake envenomation and poses a significant risk to the health of the patients. Although relatively rare, this complication once diagnosed, should be initiated with timely anti‐venom administration and supportive care.

Snake venom toxins: Potential anticancer therapeutics

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 666-685, May 2024.
Abstract Snake venom contains a cocktail of compounds dominated by proteins and peptides, which make up the toxin. The toxin components of snake venom attack several targets in the human body including the neuromuscular system, kidney and blood coagulation system and cause pathologies. As such, the venom toxins can be managed and used for the treatment

Comparison of proteomic profiles of the venoms of two of the \u27Big Four\u27 snakes of India, the Indian Cobra (Naja naja) andthe common krait (Bungarus caeruleus), and analyses of their toxins [PDF]

, 2017
Snake venoms are mixtures of biologically-active proteins and peptides, and several studies have described the characteristics of some of these toxins. However, complete proteomic profiling of the venoms of many snake species has not yet been done.

Are ticks venomous animals? [PDF]

, 2017
[Introduction]: As an ecological adaptation venoms have evolved independently in several species of Metazoa. As haematophagous arthropods ticks are mainly considered as ectoparasites due to directly feeding on the skin of animal hosts. Ticks are of major

A Documented Case of Ichthyophagy in the Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus) and Its Implications for Toxinology

Diversity
Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease, and the high potency of snake venoms has been evolutionary refined for trophic interactions. Hence, understanding the feeding ecology of snakes is a major element needed to meaningfully interpret toxinological ...

Atrase A, a P-III class metalloproteinase purified from cobra venom, exhibits potent anticoagulant activity by inhibiting coagulation pathway and activating the fibrinolytic system

Heliyon
Snake venoms, comprising a complex array of protein-rich components, an important part of which are snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs). These SVMPs, which are predominantly isolated from viperid venoms, are integral to the pathology of snakebites ...

A novel in vitro potency assay of antisera against Thai Naja kaouthia based on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor binding

Scientific Reports, 2017
Snake envenomation is an important medical problem. One of the hurdles in antivenom development is the in vivo assay of antivenom potency which is expensive, gives variable results and kills many animals.
