Molecular evolution of toxin genes in Elapidae snakes

Molecular Diversity, 2006
The venom of the sea krait, Laticauda semifasciata, consists primarily of two toxic proteins, phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and a three-finger-structure toxin. We have cloned both toxic protein genes, including the upstream region. PLA(2) genes contain three types of inserted sequences: an AG-rich region, a chicken repeat 1-like long interspersed ...

The sex life aquatic: sexually dimorphic scale mechanoreceptors and tactile courtship in a sea snake Emydocephalus annulatus (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae)

, 2021
Evolutionary transitions from terrestrial to aquatic habitats involve major selective shifts in animal signalling systems. Entirely marine snakes face two challenges during underwater social interactions: (1) finding mates when pheromones are diffused ...

Taxonomy of the Micrurus spixii species complex (Serpentes, Elapidae)

Zootaxa, 2019
Historically, 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 ...

Acetylcholinesterases from Elapidae snake venoms: biochemical, immunological and enzymatic characterization

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1997
We analyzed 45 batches of venom from 20 different species belonging to 11 genera from the 3 main families of venomous snakes (Elapidae, Viperidae and Crotalidae). We found high acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in all venoms from Elapidae, except in those from the Dendroaspis genus.

Neostigmine in the Treatment of Elapidae Bites

1976
A 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 ...
