Functional Anatomy of the Pharynx of Glycera tridactyla Schmarda, 1861 (Annelida: Glyceriformia: Glyceridae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.
Micro‐CT technology was used to investigate the functional anatomy of the pharynx in the polychaete Glycera tridactyla. The study revealed a complex system of pharyngeal muscles, including ring muscles, retensor muscles, intestinal retractor muscles, and longitudinal muscles of the buccal tube and oesophagus.

Arboreal Duels in a Shared Niche: Direct Observations of Vinesnake (Thelotornis mossambicanus) Predation on Chameleons (Chamaeleo dilepis) Reveal Complex Foraging Dynamics

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Predator–prey interactions in three‐dimensional arboreal habitats are among the most complex and least observed ecological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Here we report two predation events of the Eastern Vinesnake (Thelotornis mossambicanus) on the Flap‐necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) in sand‐forest habitat of the Zambezi Delta ...

Why is Skeletal Muscle Regeneration Impaired after Myonecrosis Induced by Viperid Snake Venoms?

Toxins, 2018
Skeletal muscle regeneration after myonecrosis involves the activation, proliferation and fusion of myogenic cells, and a coordinated inflammatory response encompassing phagocytosis of necrotic cell debris, and the concerted synthesis of cytokines and ...

Discovery of Neuroprotective Venom‐Derived Candidates From Naja Mandalayensis in mHippoE‐18 Cells Via Fractionation and Proteomic Mapping

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2026.
Venom‐derived peptide diversity from Naja mandalayensis reveals bioactive subfractions capable of modulating neuronal oxidative stress responses. Integration of RP‐HPLC fractionation and proteomics identifies toxin families associated with improved mitochondrial function and cellular integrity in mHippoE‐18 cells, supporting venoms as a platform for ...

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Bedside Coagulation Tests in Diagnosing Venom-Induced Consumption Coagulopathy in Snakebite

Toxins, 2020
Venom-induced consumption coagulopathy is the most important systemic effect of snake envenoming. Coagulation tests are helpful to accurately and promptly diagnose venom-induced consumption coagulopathy and administer antivenom, which is the only ...
