Journal of Proteomics, 2012 Within the Neotropical pit vipers, a lineage of primarily Middle American snake species referred to as the "Porthidium group" includes the genera Atropoides, Cerrophidion, and Porthidium. In this study, the venom proteomes of Porthidium nasutum, P. ophryomegas, and Cerrophidion godmani from Costa Rica were analyzed, and correlated to their toxic and ...

An acidic phospholipase A2 with antibacterial activity from Porthidium nasutum snake venom
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012 Abstract Snake venoms are complex mixtures of proteins among which both basic and acidic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) can be found. Basic PLA2s are usually responsible for major toxic effects induced by snake venoms, while acidic PLA2s tend to have a lower toxicity.

Toxicon, 2013 A polyspecific antivenom is used in Central America for the treatment of envenomings by viperid snakes. This antivenom is generated in horses hyperimmunized with a mixture of venoms from Bothrops asper, Crotalus simus and Lachesis stenophrys. The present study analyzed the ability of this antivenom to neutralize the venoms of three Central American ...

The phylogeny, phylogeography, and diversification history of the westernmost Asian cobra (Serpentes: Elapidae: Naja oxiana) in the Trans-Caspian region. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and demographic relationships of Caspian cobra (Naja oxiana) populations based on a concatenated dataset of two mtDNA genes. Our results provided strong support of phylogeny of Caspian cobras.

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas, 2023 The most important pathogens causing high damage to fruit and vegetable crops are bacteria and fungi; among them Xanthomonas and Fusarium respectively are in the phytopathogens responsible of diseases in those crops. In Colombia, the crop of Passiflora edulis f. edulis occupies a position preferential within international market.

A guide for optimal iodine staining and high-throughput diceCT scanning in snakes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We present the first high‐throughput workflow for full‐body skeletal and soft‐tissue (dice) CT scans in preserved snakes. These methods increase publicly available diceCT scans for reptiles by an order of magnitude and can be generalized to any elongate vertebrates.

Do New World pitvipers "scale-down" at high elevations? Macroecological patterns of scale characters and body size. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 New World Pitvipers show a contra‐Bergmann's pattern between elevation and body size. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the macroecological pattern of increasing body size in response to higher latitudes and elevations. This pattern is extensively documented in endothermic vertebrates, within and among species; however, studies involving ectotherms ...

Viperatoxin-II: A novel viper venom protein as an effective bactericidal agent. [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2015 Infections caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have become a rising threat to public health. There is an urgent need for development of promising new therapeutic agents against drug resistant bacteria like S. aureus. This report discusses purification and characterization of proteins from Indian Russell's viper snake venom ...
