Diversity of Micrurus snake species related to their venom toxic effects and the prospective of antivenom neutralization.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BackgroundMicrurus snake bites can cause death by muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest, few hours after envenomation. The specific treatment for coral snake envenomation is the intravenous application of heterologous antivenom and, in Brazil, it is ...

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Crystal structure and functional characterization of an Asp49 phospholipase A2 from the bushmaster (Lachesis muta)

Acta Crystallographica Section F, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 150-159, May 2026.
The crystal structure of an Asp49 phospholipase A2 from L. muta is reported, revealing a tetrameric assembly, catalytic conservation and a polarized electrostatic surface potentially linked to membrane targeting.Snake‐venom phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are small, structurally conserved enzymes that contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of ...

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
A fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...

Snakebite injuries in Hong Kong: A 10‐year review

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Background Snakebite envenomation is a priority neglected tropical disease according to the World Health Organization. To address the issue, enhanced epidemiological evidence in endemic countries and an improved availability of snake antivenoms were proposed. Objectives To understand the local epidemiology of snakebite cases, promote awareness
