Severe Pediatric Snakebite With Coagulopathy and Compartment Syndrome: Conservative Management With Plasma Exchange

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Therapeutic plasma exchange was successfully used in a child with severe snakebite envenomation complicated by refractory venom‐induced consumptive coagulopathy and suspected compartment syndrome, leading to full recovery and avoidance of surgical intervention.

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.

Evaluation of long-term consequences among snakebite survivors in rural Kenya including validation of a functional limitations assessment tool.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundSnakebite envenoming, a neglected tropical disease, causes functional limitations and disability, yet the burden and optimal assessment methods remain unclear. We describe the frequency and severity of disability and functional limitation among

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.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3881-3898, July 2026.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

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

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 3, Page 237-246, July 2026.
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.
