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.

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 ...

Novel Catalytically-Inactive PII Metalloproteinases from a Viperid Snake Venom with Substitutions in the Canonical Zinc-Binding Motif

Toxins, 2016
Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) play key biological roles in prey immobilization and digestion. The majority of these activities depend on the hydrolysis of relevant protein substrates in the tissues.
