Inflammation induced by snake venoms optimizes envenomation

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 14, Page 5831-5852, 15 July 2026.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustrating mechanisms underlying direct vascular absorption and subsequent movement of venom toxins into the tissues consequent to snakebite. A, snakebite into prey deposits venom toxins into the tissue interstitium, with the venom then causing acute inflammation primarily in venules.

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...
