Krait bite: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Journal of Nepalgunj Medical College
In Nepal, fatalities resulting from snakebites are alarmingly common, yet the issue remains inadequately addressed, prompting experts to characterize it as an imminent but overlooked crisis. Among the venomous snakes, the Common Krait stands out for its exceptionally lethal venom, rich in neurotoxins that induce muscle paralysis.

Two Decades of the Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) Canker Outbreak Driven by Clonal Pathogen Lineages

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
A single clonal lineage has driven Cape beech canker for nearly two decades. However, the fungus was also found in healthy trees, suggesting that this emerging disease may have a more complex origin than a simple pathogen introduction. ABSTRACT Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) causes an aggressive canker disease on native Myrsine ...

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

The genome assembly and annotation of the many-banded krait, Bungarus multicinctus

Gigabyte, 2023
Snakes are a vital component of wildlife resources and are widely distributed across the globe. The many-banded krait Bungarus multicinctus is a highly venomous snake found across Southern Asia and central and southern China. Snakes are an ancient reptile group, and their genomes can provide important clues for understanding the evolutionary history of
