The effects of selected Australian snake venoms on tumour-associated microvascular endothelial cells (TAMECs) in vitro [PDF]

, 2013
The effects of various viperid and elapid venoms on the cellular biology of tumour-associated microvascular endothelial cells (TAMECs) were determined in the current study using cells isolated from a rat mammary adenocarcinoma.

Neurotoxic, cytotoxic and cardiovascular effects of some Australasian elapid venoms

, 2017
A range of toxic components found in Australasian elapid venoms have been postulated to account for the clinical outcomes of envenoming. Depending on the species of snake, these outcomes may include neurotoxicity with flaccid paralysis, coagulopathy with

An N‐Terminally Elongated Peptide From Conus rolani Defines a New Class of Ribbon α‐Conotoxins Targeting Muscle nAChRs

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 12, 30 June 2025.
α‐RoIA is an atypical N‐terminally elongated conotoxin discovered in Conus rolani. N‐terminal elongation delays activity in vivo; however, this elongation must be removed to block muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Only the truncated ribbon isoform of RoIA blocks muscle nAChRs.

Early cardiovascular collapse after envenoming by snakes in Australia, 2005–2020: an observational study (ASP‐31)

Medical Journal of Australia, Volume 222, Issue 6, Page 313-317, April 2025.
Abstract Objectives To investigate the frequency, timing, and characteristics of cardiovascular collapse after snakebite in Australia, and the complications of collapse following envenoming. Study design Observational study; analysis of prospectively collected demographic and clinical data.

The Venom Proteome of the Ecologically Divergent Australian Elapid, Southern Death Adder <i>Acanthophis antarcticus</i>. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel)
The composition of Australian snake venoms is the least well-known of any continent. We characterised the venom proteome of the southern death adder Acanthophis antarcticus—one of the world’s most morphologically and ecologically divergent elapids. Using

The hyaluronidase activities of some Southeast Asian snake venoms.

, 2016
The hyaluronidase activities of venoms of snakes indigenous to Southeast Asia were investigated. With the exception of the venom of the Malayan krait Bungarus candidus, the elapid venoms had either little or no hyaluronidase activities, whereas the ...

DataSheet1_An immunoinformatic approach to assessing the immunogenic capacity of alpha-neurotoxins in elapid snake venoms.xlsx

, 2023
Introduction: Most elapid snakes produce venoms that contain alpha-neurotoxins (α-NTXs), which are proteins that cause post-synaptic blockade and paralysis in snakebite envenoming.

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 ...
