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.

Diagnosing Syndrome‐Like Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia After Pit Viper Envenomation: Overcoming Laboratory Gaps in a Resource‐Limited Setting: A Case Report From Nepal

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation remains a significant yet often overlooked health challenge in Nepal, particularly in its rural and hilly regions. While venom‐induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) is commonly observed with viper bites, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is an extremely rare complication, especially with green pit vipers ...

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...

Arboreal Duels in a Shared Niche: Direct Observations of Vinesnake (Thelotornis mossambicanus) Predation on Chameleons (Chamaeleo dilepis) Reveal Complex Foraging Dynamics

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Predator–prey interactions in three‐dimensional arboreal habitats are among the most complex and least observed ecological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Here we report two predation events of the Eastern Vinesnake (Thelotornis mossambicanus) on the Flap‐necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) in sand‐forest habitat of the Zambezi Delta ...

Diagnosis of snake envenomation using a simple phospholipase A₂ assay

, 2014
Diagnosis of snake envenomation is challenging but critical for deciding on antivenom use. Phospholipase A₂ enzymes occur commonly in snake venoms and we hypothesized that phospholipase activity detected in human blood post-bite may be indicative of ...
