Snake Venom PLA2, a Promising Target for Broad‐Spectrum Antivenom Drug Development
BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Snakebite envenomation is a neglected global health problem, causing substantial mortality, disability, and psychological morbidity, especially in rural tropical and subtropical zones. Antivenin is currently the only specific medicine for envenomation. However, it is restricted by cold storage, snakebite diagnosis, and high price.
