On the ‘spitting’ behaviour in cobras (Serpentes: Elapidae)
Journal of Zoology, 1995Spitting' behaviour was examined in selected taxa of Naja and Hemachatus. A description of the kinematics and variations of spitting in each species was generated from the analysis of videotape records of over 400 spits. Interspecific variation was noted in the spitting behaviour.

Neostigmine in the Treatment of Elapidae Bites
1976A high rate of mortality in the patients brought to the hospital with neuroparalytic snake venom poisoning, a close resemblance of the clinical picture to that of myasthenic crisis or curare poisoning, and a dramatic response to neostigmine therapy in our first case prompted us to undertake a therapeutic evaluation of anticholinesterase in Elapidae ...

Taxonomy of the Micrurus spixii species complex (Serpentes, Elapidae)
Zootaxa, 2019Historically, the Micrurus spixii species complex comprises four subspecies (M. s. spixii, M. s. martiusi, M. s. obscurus, and M. s. princeps), however, recently, some authors have considered only two full species (M. spixii and M. obscurus). In this paper, we report data on meristic, morphometric, color pattern in life and after preservation, cranial ...

An attempt to classify the toxic proteins of elapidae and hydrophiidae venoms
Toxicon, 1973Abstract Toxins recently extracted from Elapidae and Hydrophiidae venoms are chemically closely related basic proteins of low molecular weight. They fall into three main serological groups. Their classification is based on the results of precipitation tests.

Phylogenetic relationships within laticaudine sea snakes (Elapidae)
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2011The sea snake subfamily Laticaudinae consists of a single genus with eight named species, based on morphological characters. We used microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data to clarify the adaptive radiation of these oviparous sea snakes in the South Pacific, with special reference to New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Elapidae Toxins: The Fasciculins, and their Interaction with Acetylcholinesterase
2000Fasciculins, isolated from the venom of mambas (genus, Dendroaspis), are named after the long-lasting muscle fasciculations they produce in mice (Rodriguez-Ithurralde et al., 1983). They are potent and selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChEl:EC 3.1.1.7) (Karlsson et al., 1984 Harvey et al., 1984).
