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.

Time delays in treatment of snakebite patients in rural Sri Lanka and the need for rapid diagnostic tests.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Delays in treatment seeking and antivenom administration remain problematic for snake envenoming. We aimed to describe the treatment seeking pattern and delays in admission to hospital and administration of antivenom in a cohort of authenticated ...

Capillary leak syndrome following snakebite envenomation

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2017
Capillary leak syndrome is a unique complication that follows Russell's viper envenomation. This syndrome has a very high fatality rate and is characterized by parotid swelling, chemosis, periorbital edema, hypotension, albuminuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hemoconcentration.

Diagnosing Syndrome‐Like Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia After Pit Viper Envenomation: Overcoming Laboratory Gaps in a Resource‐Limited Setting: A Case Report From Nepal

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation remains a significant yet often overlooked health challenge in Nepal, particularly in its rural and hilly regions. While venom‐induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) is commonly observed with viper bites, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is an extremely rare complication, especially with green pit vipers ...

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 ...

Progress and Challenges in the Field of Snakebite Envenoming Therapeutics [PDF]

Snakebite envenoming kills and maims hundreds of thousands of people every year, especially in the rural settings of tropical regions. Envenomings are still treated with animal-derived antivenoms, which have prevented many lives from being lost but which
