Paleoclimatology, Paleogeography, and the Evolution and Distribution of Sea Kraits (Serpentes; Elapidae;Laticauda)

, 2017
The geographic range of sea kraits encompasses one of the geologically most-complex regions of the world. At its center lies Wallacea (the transition between the terrestrial biotas of the Asian and Australian tectonic plates) and the Indonesian ...

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 ...

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.

Phospholipase A2 from krait Bungarus fasciatus venom induces human cancer cell death in vitro [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Snake venoms are the complex mixtures of different compounds manifesting a wide array of biological activities. The venoms of kraits (genus Bungarus, family Elapidae) induce mainly neurological symptoms; however, these venoms show a ...

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.

Prevalence, vulnerability and epidemiological characteristics of snakebite in agricultural settings in rural Sri Lanka: A population-based study from South Asia.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundThe burden of snakebite remains poorly characterised because of the paucity of population-based data. Further, factors determining the vulnerability of individuals within rural communities to snakebite have been rarely investigated.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 400-449, July 2026.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...
