Proteomic Investigation of Cape Cobra (Naja nivea) Venom Reveals First Evidence of Quaternary Protein Structures

Toxins
Naja nivea (N. nivea) is classed as a category one snake by the World Health Organization since its envenomation causes high levels of mortality and disability annually. Despite this, there has been little research into the venom composition of N. nivea,

Proteomic profiling of snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs): Insights into venom induced pathology

Toxicon, 2009
Bothrops sp. snakebites account for the majority of envenomations in South and Central America. Bothrops jararaca accidents are characterized by edema, hemorrhage and necrosis, mainly attributed to the action of hemorrhagic snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs).

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.

Explaining Echis: Proteotranscriptomic Profiling of Echis carinatus carinatus Venom

Toxins
Snakebite remains the most neglected tropical disease globally, with India experiencing the highest rates of mortality and morbidity. While most envenomation cases in India are attributed to the ‘big four’ snakes, research has predominantly focused on ...

Jararhagin, a hemorrhagic snake venom metalloproteinase from Bothrops jararaca

Toxicon, 2012
Jararhagin is a metalloproteinase isolated from Bothrops jararaca snake venom, which has been extensively studied. These studies showed its involvement on most of the systemic and local damaging effects of snakebite envenomings. In this review we comment on the major targets of jararhagin as the vascular endothelium, platelets and coagulation factors ...

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 ...

Inter- and Intraspecific Venom Variation in the Reclusive Rear-Fanged Black-Striped Snakes (Coniophanes)

Toxins
Our current understanding of snake venom is highly biased towards species known to be medically significant in human envenomations. This vastly under-represents the true evolutionary and ecological breadth of snake venom, with gaps spanning entire clades
