Effect of Vipera ammodytes ammodytes Snake Venom on the Human Cytokine Network
Toxins, 2018 Local inflammation is a well-known symptom of envenomation by snakes of the family Viperidae, attributed primarily to the phospholipase A2s, metalloproteinases and L-amino acid oxidases contained in their venom.

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 3, July 2026.We evaluated demographic responses of an enclosed population of brown treesnakes to two experimental perturbations: supplemental feeding followed by removal of the adult and sub‐adult cohort 2 years later. Our results indicate that adding food to the system increased the population growth rate by 50% within 6 months and that removing the adults and ...

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Toxin synergism in snake venoms [PDF]
, 2016 Synergism between venom toxins exists for a range of snake species. Synergism can be derived from both intermolecular interactions and supramolecular interactions between venom components, and can be the result of toxins targeting the same protein ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
