A sensory ecology approach to understanding snakebites: Influence of sensory cues on the strike of the lancehead pitviper

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Snakes are notable for having a broad range of predators and one of the most diverse repertoires of defensive behaviors. During heightened responses to aversive stimuli, one of the behaviors displayed is the venomous bite, particularly relevant because it triggers snakebite incidents in humans.

Inflammation induced by snake venoms optimizes envenomation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
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.

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.
