Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Evaluation of the properties of Bungarus caeruleus venom and checking the efficacy of antivenom used in Bangladesh for its bite treatment

Toxicon: X, 2023
As a disaster-prone country with unique geographical features, snake biting is a major public health concern in Bangladesh. The primary reasons of mortality from snakebite include late presentation to the hospital, low efficacy of antivenom, and a lack ...

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.

Cross-reactivity of coral snake antivenom. [PDF]

, 2013
[A] ELISA: plates were coated with 10 µg of Micrurus venoms and incubated with different dilutions of coral snake antivenom, followed by GAH/IgG-HRPO, diluted 1∶3,000. The absorbance of the samples was determined at 492 nm.

Proteomics and immunocharacterization of Asian mountain pit viper (Ovophis monticola) venom.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The venomic profile of Asian mountain pit viper Ovophis monticola is clarified in the present study. Using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, 247 different proteins were identified in crude venom of O. monticola found in Thailand.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3881-3898, July 2026.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Diagnosis and Treatment of Snake Envenomation in Dogs in Queensland, Australia

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Australia has some of the most venous snakes in the world, and envenomations of domestic dogs are common, but clinical signs as well as the diagnostic procedures and treatments of snake envenomations are poorly described. Therefore, we invited veterinary

Antivenom for snake bite in Korea

Journal of the Korean Medical Association, 2013
In Korea, there are four types of snakes, Glyoidius brevicaudus, G. intermedius (formerly named, saxatilis), G. ussuriensis, Rhabdophis tigrinus. The case-fatality rate in snake bite envenomation is very low. Snake venom is a heterogeneous mixture of pharmacologically active enzymatic, non-enzymatic protein, peptide toxins, other organic and inorganic ...

Inflammation induced by snake venoms optimizes envenomation

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 14, Page 5831-5852, 15 July 2026.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustrating mechanisms underlying direct vascular absorption and subsequent movement of venom toxins into the tissues consequent to snakebite. A, snakebite into prey deposits venom toxins into the tissue interstitium, with the venom then causing acute inflammation primarily in venules.
