A simple mortality risk prediction score for viper envenoming in India (VENOMS): A model development and validation study

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Background Snakebite is a neglected problem with a high mortality in India. There are no simple clinical prognostic tools which can predict mortality in viper envenomings. We aimed to develop and validate a mortality-risk prediction score for patients of

The Contribution of Phospholipase A2 and Metalloproteinases to the Synergistic Action of Viper Venom on the Bioenergetic Profile of Vero Cells

Toxins, 2022
Increasing concern about the use of animal models has stimulated the development of in vitro cell culture models for analysis of the biological effects of snake venoms.

Foraging behaviour, habitat use and population size of the desert horned viper in the Negev desert

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
The desert horned viper occurs in the dunes of the northwestern Negev desert, Israel. We report on a 2 year study on the viper's behaviour and ecology in its natural habitat.

Proteomics, toxicity and antivenom neutralization of Sri Lankan and Indian Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) venoms

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background: The western Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) is widely distributed in South Asia, and geographical venom variation is anticipated among distant populations.

Proximity between humans and a highly medically significant snake, Russell's viper, in a tropical rural community.

Ecological Applications, 2021
Snakebite envenoming is a major neglected tropical health issue. The high incidence of snakebites in tropical rural communities suggests that venomous snakes and people are often in proximity but quantitative evidence is lacking.

Selfish or altruistic? An analysis of alarm call function in wild capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella nigritus [PDF]

, 2008
Alarm calls facilitate some antipredatory benefits of group living but may endanger the caller by attracting the predator's attention. A number of hypotheses invoking kin selection and individual selection have been proposed to explain how such behaviour

Accident vasculaire cérébral hémorragique mortel suite à une envenimation par une vipère à corne en Tunisie

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2015
En Tunisie, parmi les envenimations par animaux terrestres, les morsures de vipéridés sont, après les piqûres de scorpions, les plus fréquentes. La présence d'un syndrome hémorragique est un des principaux critères de gravité.
