A Case of Naja atra Bite Complicated by Gas Gangrene Leading to Amputation: Pathogen and Management Lessons

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Gas gangrene of the right upper limb following a Naja atra bite, with extensive skin necrosis and purulent discharge. ABSTRACT Gas gangrene after a Naja atra bite may be caused by Enterococcus faecalis from the snake's mouth, which is resistant to ceftriaxone.

Biochemical characterisation and substrate-specific proteolytic diversity of venom metalloproteinases in African puff adders

Toxicon: X
The puff adder (Bitis arietans) is a highly venomous viper responsible for many snakebite fatalities in Africa, yet there have been few geographically comprehensive analyses of its venom proteins, particularly of the proteases that play a key role in ...

Scrutinizing the Wallacean shortfall: global gaps in snake occurrence data across space and environment

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Occurrence records are fundamental for ecological and evolutionary research, providing key information on species' geographic ranges. However, these records are often taxonomically, spatially, and temporally biased, requiring caution in their use. Here, we analysed the spatial coverage of occurrence records for over 3500 snake species worldwide to ...

Correspondence:The African snakebite Alliance [PDF]

The goal to reduce the burden of snakebite envenoming is challenged by the gaps in evidence for clinical care and public health. These evidence gaps and the absence of a strong network are illustrated by bibliometrics. The African Snakebite Alliance is a

Snake Venom Metalloproteinases from Puff Adder and Saw-Scaled Viper Venoms Cause Cytotoxic Effects in Human Keratinocytes

Toxins
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that causes substantial mortality and morbidity globally. The puff adder (Bitis arietans) and saw-scaled viper (Echis romani) have cytotoxic venoms that cause permanent injury via dermonecrosis around ...

Where did Venomous Snakes Strike? A Spatial Statistical Analysis of Snakebite Cases in Bondowoso Regency, Indonesia

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2017
Snakebite envenomation in Indonesia is a health burden that receives no attention from stakeholders. The high mortality and morbidity rate caused by snakebite in Indonesia is estimated from regional reports.

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

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.
