Effects of Bothrops asper snake venom on lymphatic vessels: insights into a hidden aspect of envenomation. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008
Envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper represent a serious medical problem in Central America and parts of South America. These envenomations concur with drastic local tissue pathology, including a prominent edema. Since lymph flow plays a role in the

Comparative Hemostatic Effects of Bothrops spp. and Daboia russelii Venoms

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Venoms from Bothrops species and Daboia russelii are among the leading causes of venom‐induced coagulopathy and snakebite‐related deaths. In this study, we comparatively evaluated the biochemical composition and hemostatic effects of venoms from seven Bothrops species and D. russelii using protein profiling and functional coagulation assays.

Distinct regulatory networks control toxin gene expression in elapid and viperid snakes

BMC Genomics
Background Venom systems are ideal models to study genetic regulatory mechanisms that underpin evolutionary novelty. Snake venom glands are thought to share a common origin, but there are major distinctions between venom toxins from the medically ...

A Case Report of Postpartum Hemorrhage Secondary to Snake Bite Envenomation: A Pathogenesis and Current Management Review

Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Snakebite envenomation (SBE) is a tropical disease with significant global morbidity and mortality, particularly affecting low‐resource settings. During pregnancy, SBE poses unique challenges, increasing both maternal and fetal mortality. Limited access to antivenom and delayed treatment further worsen outcomes.

Proteomic Characterization and Comparison of Malaysian Tropidolaemus wagleri and Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus Venom Using Shotgun-Proteomics

Toxins, 2016
Tropidolaemus wagleri and Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus are venomous pit viper species commonly found in Malaysia. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis of the crude venoms has detected different proteins in T. wagleri and C. purpureomaculatus.

Clinical Profile and Outcome of Snake Bite–Associated Acute Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Study

International Journal of Nephrology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease with a high burden in South Asia, particularly India. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most serious complications of snake envenomation, which has significant morbidity, mortality, and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Development of an Immunofluorescence Lateral Flow Assay for Detecting Four Medically Important Snake Venoms in China

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Snakebite envenomation requires rapid venom identification for effective treatment, a need unmet by current diagnostics in China. This study aimed to develop a rapid, multiplex immunofluorescence lateral flow assay for the simultaneous detection of four major venomous snakes: Deinagkistrodon acutus, Bungarus multicinctus, Naja atra, and Agkistrodon ...
