Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Lys49 secreted phospholipase A2‐like proteins (sPLA2s) are major myotoxins in viperid snake venoms, causing rapid muscle damage in envenomation. Beyond their clinical relevance, these small non‐catalytic proteins provide a model to study how quaternary structure and conformational dynamics enable catalysis‐independent membrane disruption ...

Snakebite envenoming from an Ecohealth perspective
Toxicon: X, 2020 Snakebite envenomings occur in complex ecological, social, economic, cultural, and political contexts. Hence, the understanding of this public health issue demands systemic and holistic approaches. Ecohealth constitutes a valuable paradigm to study snakebites, as it emphasizes on the close linkages between ecosystems, society, and health.

TOXIC SYNERGY: The Precarious Grasp of Human‐Snake Entanglements in a Thai Venom Facility
Cultural Anthropology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 30-56, February 2026.ABSTRACT Venomous snakes offer unique insight into core topics of anthropological inquiry because they are both the cause of a disease, snakebite envenoming, and the source of the cure. At a Thai facility dedicated to venomous snake husbandry for the production of antivenom, the biological pharmaceutical used in the treatment of this disease, a team of

Local Ecological Knowledge and Cultural Perceptions of Snakes in Sudan
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.In Sudan, snakes are viewed through a mix of ecological, cultural, and spiritual lenses, shaping both conservation attitudes and health responses. Our survey (n = 192) across 16 states revealed frequent encounters, polarized conservation views, widespread killing of snakes, reliance on traditional remedies, and strong public support (95%) for ...
