Recombinant Expression of Bornavirus P24 Protein for Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Development [PDF]

The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology
Borna disease virus (BDV) is a neurotropic, enveloped and ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus. BDV induces persistent neurologic disease in a wide host range included several vertebrate species as well as human. The BDV genome encodes 6 proteins but p24 protein

A Web of Coagulotoxicity: Failure of Antivenom to Neutralize the Destructive (Non-Clotting) Fibrinogenolytic Activity of Loxosceles and Sicarius Spider Venoms

Toxins, 2020
Envenomations are complex medical emergencies that can have a range of symptoms and sequelae. The only specific, scientifically-validated treatment for envenomation is antivenom administration, which is designed to alleviate venom effects.

Extensive Variation in the Activities of Pseudocerastes and Eristicophis Viper Venoms Suggests Divergent Envenoming Strategies Are Used for Prey Capture

Toxins, 2021
Snakes of the genera Pseudocerastes and Eristicophis (Viperidae: Viperinae) are known as the desert vipers due to their association with the arid environments of the Middle East.

VENOM: A Vectorized N:M Format for Unleashing the Power of Sparse Tensor Cores [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The increasing success and scaling of Deep Learning models demands higher computational efficiency and power. Sparsification can lead to both smaller models as well as higher compute efficiency, and accelerated hardware is becoming available. However, exploiting it efficiently requires kernel implementations, pruning algorithms, and storage formats, to

Venomous Snakebites

Medicina, 2011
More than 5 million people are bitten by venomous snakes annually and more than 100 000 of them die. In Europe, one person dies due to envenomation every 3 years. There is only one venomous snake species in Lithuania – the common adder (Vipera berus) – which belongs to the Viperidae family; however, there are some exotic poisonous snakes in the zoos ...

Worldwide Web: High Venom Potency and Ability to Optimize Venom Usage Make the Globally Invasive Noble False Widow Spider Steatoda nobilis (Thorell, 1875) (Theridiidae) Highly Competitive against Native European Spiders Sharing the Same Habitats

Toxins, 2022
Venom compositions include complex mixtures of toxic proteins that evolved to immobilize/dissuade organisms by disrupting biological functions. Venom production is metabolically expensive, and parsimonious use is expected, as suggested by the venom ...

An in vivo examination of the differences between rapid cardiovascular collapse and prolonged hypotension induced by snake venom

Scientific Reports, 2019
We investigated the cardiovascular effects of venoms from seven medically important species of snakes: Australian Eastern Brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis), Sri Lankan Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii), Javanese Russell’s viper (D.
