Elapid Snake Venom Analyses Show the Specificity of the Peptide Composition at the Level of Genera Naja and Notechis

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Elapid snake venom is a highly valuable, but till now mainly unexplored, source of pharmacologically important peptides. We analyzed the peptide fractions with molecular masses up to 10 kDa of two elapid snake venoms—that of the African cobra, N.

Conkazal‐M1 from the MKAVA family of conotoxins: A dual‐function protease inhibitor and neuroactive peptide

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Quantifying venom in African snakes: Insights into protein content, yield and body size associations

open access: yesToxicon: X
Snake venoms are complex mixtures primarily composed of toxic proteins used during prey capture and defence. There is limited knowledge concerning the protein concentration of snake venom and the biases of different protein determination methods.

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh

open access: yesVeterinary 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 ...

HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES INDUCED BY SINGLE DOSE OF LD50 NAJA NAJA SNAKE VENOM ON THE LIVER OF MALE ALBINO RATS

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background:The common sign of snake envenomation is hepatotoxicity or liver injury that is dependent on quality and quantity of venom. Objective:To clarify the effect of intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of LD50 dose of Naja naja snake venom on the ...

Acute tetraparesis in a labrador retriever with suspected ectopic insulinoma and paraneoplastic polyneuropathy

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Summary This case report describes a 10‐year‐old, male, neutered labrador retriever that was presented with acute non‐ambulatory tetraparesis, later diagnosed with an ectopic insulinoma and paraneoplastic polyneuropathy. Clinical evaluation revealed severe hypoglycaemia, generalised neuromuscular signs and electromyography findings were consistent with

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

open access: yesActa 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 ...
