Death to bite: a case report of dead snake envenoming and treatment

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
BackgroundEnvenoming by venomous snakes may induce serious pathophysiological manifestations and death in victims if timely treatment is not provided. Such abilities of snakes remain intact even after death and decapitation.

Enzymatic and biochemical characterization of Bungarus sindanus snake venom acetylcholinesterase

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2012
This study analyses venom from the elapid krait snake Bungarus sindanus, which contains a high level of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. The enzyme showed optimum activity at alkaline pH (8.5) and 45ºC.

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 11, Page 2322-2334, November 2026.
Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Krait: an ultrafast tool for genome-wide survey of microsatellites and primer design

, 2017
Summary Microsatellites are found to be related with various diseases and widely used in population genetics as genetic markers. However, it remains a challenge to identify microsatellite from large genome and screen microsatellites for

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...
