Comparison of phylogeny, venom composition and neutralization by antivenom in diverse species of bothrops complex. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 In Latin America, Bothrops snakes account for most snake bites in humans, and the recommended treatment is administration of multispecific Bothrops antivenom (SAB--soro antibotrópico).

Snake Venom: A Promising Source of Neurotoxins Targeting Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels
Toxins, 2023 The venom derived from various sources of snakes represents a vast collection of predominantly protein-based toxins that exhibit a wide range of biological actions, including but not limited to inflammation, pain, cytotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and ...

Interior point search for nonparametric image segmentation [PDF]
, 2021 Precise object boundary detection for automatic image segmentation is critical for image analysis, including that used in computer-aided diagnosis. However, such detection traditionally uses active contour or snake models requiring accurate initialization and parameter optimization.

Diversity of Micrurus snake species related to their venom toxic effects and the prospective of antivenom neutralization. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND: Micrurus snake bites can cause death by muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest, few hours after envenomation. The specific treatment for coral snake envenomation is the intravenous application of heterologous antivenom and, in Brazil, it is ...

, 2022 Venomous snakes belonging to the family Viperidae, Elapidae, Colubridae and Hydrophidae, produces snake venom in order to facilitate immobilization and digestion of prey, act as defense mechanism against threats. Venom contains zootoxins which is a highly modified saliva that is either injected via fangs during a bite or spitted.

Watch out Venomous Snake Species: A Solution to SnakeCLEF2023 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The SnakeCLEF2023 competition aims to the development of advanced algorithms for snake species identification through the analysis of images and accompanying metadata. This paper presents a method leveraging utilization of both images and metadata. Modern CNN models and strong data augmentation are utilized to learn better representation of images.

Optimal Axes of Siberian Snakes for Polarized Proton Acceleration [PDF]
Phys.Rev.STAccel.Beams7:121001,2004, 2004 Accelerating polarized proton beams and storing them for many turns can lead to a loss of polarization when accelerating through energies where a spin rotation frequency is in resonance with orbit oscillation frequencies. First-order resonance effects can be avoided by installing Siberian Snakes in the ring, devices which rotate the spin by 180 degrees
