Engineering Antivenom: Research Progress and Future Directions in Snakebite Envenoming Therapy

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Snakebite envenoming therapy is evolving from plasma‐derived antivenoms toward rationally engineered therapeutics. Advances in toxicovenomics, structural biology, antibody engineering, computational protein design, recombinant expression, small‐molecule inhibitors, and diagnostics are enabling toxin‐centric development of safer, more effective, and ...

In Vitro neurotoxicity and myotoxicity of Malaysian Naja sumatrana and Naja kaouthia venoms: Neutralization by monovalent and Neuro Polyvalent Antivenoms from Thailand.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Naja sumatrana and Naja kaouthia are medically important elapids species found in Southeast Asia. Snake bite envenoming caused by these species may lead to morbidity or mortality if not treated with the appropriate antivenom.

Severe Pediatric Snakebite With Coagulopathy and Compartment Syndrome: Conservative Management With Plasma Exchange

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Therapeutic plasma exchange was successfully used in a child with severe snakebite envenomation complicated by refractory venom‐induced consumptive coagulopathy and suspected compartment syndrome, leading to full recovery and avoidance of surgical intervention.

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Who does bask longer? A comparison between elapid and viperid snakes in the field and in experimental conditions

open access: yes, 2018
Temperature profoundly influences the biology of ectotherm organisms, for example reptiles, which mostly regulate their body temperature behaviorally by shuttling between heat sources and sinks. The thermal quality of the environment directly affects the

Shape and size variation in elapid snake fangs, and the effects of phylogeny and diet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Published online: 9 October 2023Recent studies have found correlations between the shape of snake teeth/fangs and diet. These studies were done at a very broad phylogenetic scale, making it desirable to test if correlations are still detectable at a ...

The evolution of scale sensilla in the transition from land to sea in elapid snakes [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2016
Scale sensilla are small tactile mechanosensory organs located on the head scales of many squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). In sea snakes and sea kraits (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae), these scale organs are presumptive scale sensilla that purportedly ...
