ISOLATION OF AN OPHIDIAN PARAMYXOVIRUS (OPMV) IN A CAPTIVE RATTLESNAKE (Crotalus durissus terrificus) FROM BOTUCATU, SÃO PAULO STATE, BRAZIL
(Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos - CEVAP, Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, 2002)
This study reports the isolation of an Ophidian Paramyxovirus (OPMV) in sputum of a captive rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) kept in a serpentarium located in Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. Polymerase chain ...
Rattlesnake hemoglobins: Functional properties and tetrameric stability
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2006-01-01)
The present work analyzed the tetrameric stability of the hemoglobins from the rattlesnake C. durissus terrificus using analytical gel filtration chromatography, SAXS and osmotic stress. We show that the dissociation ...
Diet of the rattlesnake Crotalus durissus in southeastern Brazil (Serpentes, Viperidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2007-12-01)
Gut contents of 633 live rattlesnakes from southeastern Brazil received at the Instituto Butantanitute, SP, Brazil between 1993 and 1995 were studied. The snakes were weighed, measured and sexed. Two hundred and fifty-nine ...
The thermogenesis of digestion in rattlesnakes
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2004-02-01)
Some snakes have a feeding regime characterized by the infrequent ingestion of relatively large meals, causing impressive increments in post-prandial metabolism. Metabolism remains elevated for many days, while digestion ...
Cardiovascular actions of rattlesnake bradykinin ([Val(1), Thr(6)] bradykinin) in the anesthetized South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus
(Amer Physiological Soc, 2005-02-01)
Incubation of heat-denatured plasma from the rattlesnake Crotalus atrox with trypsin generated a bradykinin (BK) that contained two amino acid substitutions (Arg(1) --> Val and Ser(6) --> Thr) compared with mammalian BK. ...
Ablation of the ability to control the right-to-left cardiac shunt does not affect oxygen uptake, specific dynamic action or growth in the rattlesnake Crotalus durissus
(2013-05-01)
The morphologically undivided ventricle of the heart in non-crocodilian reptiles permits the mixing of oxygen-rich blood returning from the lungs and oxygen-poor blood from the systemic circulation. A possible functional ...
Proteomic analysis of the rare Uracoan rattlesnake Crotalus vegrandis venom: evidence of a broad arsenal of toxins
(Elsevier B. V., 2015-09-25)
The investigation of venoms has many clinical, pharmacological, ecological and evolutionary outcomes. The Crotalus spp. venom can cause hemorrhage, neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, coagulopathy and hypotension. Although ...
