Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Exploration of the Inhibitory Potential of Varespladib for Snakebite Envenomation
Phospholipase A2s (PLA2) is a major component of snake venom with diverse pathologic toxicities and, therefore, a potential target for antivenom therapy. Varespladib was initially designed as an inhibitor of mammal PLA2s, and was recently repurposed to a

Loxoscelism can cause local as well as systemic manifestations. Hematologic complications of brown recluse spider venom can be life‐threatening. Here, we present two cases of loxoscelism‐mediated hemolysis that highlight the variable clinical presentations and treatment options available based on severity and pathophysiology of hemolysis.
