Immunological Responses to Envenomation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Venoms are complex mixtures of toxic compounds delivered by bite or sting. In humans, the consequences of envenomation range from self-limiting to lethal. Critical host defence against envenomation comprises innate and adaptive immune strategies targeted towards venom detection, neutralisation, detoxification, and symptom resolution. In some instances,

C5a-C5aR1 Axis Activation Drives Envenomation Immunopathology by the Snake Naja annulifera
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Systemic complement activation drives a plethora of pathological conditions, but its role in snake envenoming remains obscure. Here, we explored complement’s contribution to the physiopathogenesis of Naja annulifera envenomation.

Early-Onset Respiratory Muscle Paralysis in Crotalic Envenomation: A Case Study
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2023 Crotalic envenomation is responsible for approximately 8%-13% of ophidism cases in Brazil, yet it is associated with the highest mortality among snakes. We describe the case of a patient bitten by a rattlesnake who developed ventilatory muscle paralysis ...

Interrogating stonefish venom: small molecules present in envenomation caused by Synanceia spp. [PDF]
FEBS Open BioMolecular analysis of Synanceia horrida (ShV) and S. verrucosa (SvV) venoms identified three small molecules new to stonefish venom: Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), choline, and 0‐acetylcholine. Analysis on human nicotinic acetylcholine (nAChRs) and GABAA receptors showed activation of neuronal (α7) and adult muscle‐type (α1β1δε) nAChRs by ShV, while ...
