Atrase A, a P-III class metalloproteinase purified from cobra venom, exhibits potent anticoagulant activity by inhibiting coagulation pathway and activating the fibrinolytic system

Heliyon
Snake venoms, comprising a complex array of protein-rich components, an important part of which are snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs). These SVMPs, which are predominantly isolated from viperid venoms, are integral to the pathology of snakebites ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
