Biochemical comparison of venoms from young Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis and their parents
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010 Crotalus durissus cumanensis, a rattlesnake endemic to Colombia and Venezuela, is considered one of the most lethal snake species in Latin America. The aim of the present study was to compare the protein content and biological activity of the venom ...
