Haemotixic snake venoms: their functional activity, impact on snakebite victims and pharmaceutical promise [PDF]
, 2017 Snake venoms are mixtures of numerous proteinacious components that exert diverse functional activities on a variety of physiological targets. Because the toxic constituents found in venom vary from species to species, snakebite victims can present with ...

Venoms of Rear-Fanged Snakes: New Proteins and Novel Activities
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Snake venom research has focused on front-fanged venomous snakes because of the high incidence of human morbidity and mortality from envenomations and larger venom yields of these species, while venoms from rear-fanged snakes have been largely neglected.

Snake antivenom for snake venom induced consumption coagulopathy [PDF]
, 2014 Background Snake venom induced consumption coagulopathy is a major systemic effect of envenoming. Observational studies suggest that antivenom improves outcomes for venom induced consumption coagulopathy in some snakebites and not others. However, the
