Toxinology of Venoms from Five Australian Lesser Known Elapid Snakes [PDF]
Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, 2012 AbstractResearch into Australian elapid venoms has mainly focused on the seven genera of greatest clinical significance: Acanthophis, Hoplocephalus, Notechis, Oxyuranus, Pseudechis, Pseudonaja and Tropidechis. However, even small species represent a potential for causing severe clinical envenoming.

Effect of Australian elapid venoms on blood coagulation: Australian Snakebite Project (ASP-17)
Toxicon, 2012 Snake venoms contain toxins that activate the coagulation network and cause venom-induced consumption coagulopathy. A previously developed mathematical model of the coagulation network was refined and used to describe and predict the time course of changes in the coagulation factors following envenomation by Brown snake (Pseudonaja spp.), Tiger snake ...
