Toxicity of Bothrops sp snake venoms from Ecuador and preclinical assessment of the neutralizing efficacy of a polyspecific antivenom from Costa Rica
(2014-09-15)
The toxicological profile of the venoms of the snakes Bothrops asper and Bothrops atrox from Ecuador was investigated, together with the venom of a population of B. asper formerly classified as ‘Bothrops xanthogrammus’. ...
Isolation and characterization of a novel metalloprotease inhibitor from Bothrops alternatus snake serum
(2017-05-01)
Resistance of snakes and some other animals to snake envenomation has been attributed to soluble factors present in their tissues. Here we report the isolation of a novel metalloprotease inhibitor from Bothrops alternatus ...
Relationship of venom ontogeny and diet in Bothrops
(1999-06-01)
We studied ontogenetic changes in venom toxicity of the pitvipers Bothrops jararaca and B. alternatus in order to evaluate the relationship between venom action and diet. Toxicity tests (LD50) were performed for the venoms ...
Biochemistry and toxicology of toxins purified from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(2009-12-01)
The isolation and study of individual snake venom components paves the way for a deeper
understanding of the pathophysiology of envenomings – thus potentially contributing to
improved therapeutic modalities in the clinical ...
Effect of adjuvants on the antibody response of mice to Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) snake venom
(1996)
The adjuvant properties of several immunostimulant molecules on the murine antibody response to Bothrops asper snake venom were evaluated. Mice receiving venom together with either sodium alginate, calcium alginate, aluminum ...
Thrombin-like activity in snake venoms from Peruvian Bothrops and Lachesis genera
(Elsevier, 1991)
Venoms from Lachesis muta muta, Bothrops pictus, B. barnetti, B. atrox and B. hyoprorus coagulate in vitro canine fibrinogen, and both bovine fibrinogen and bovine plasma. B. barnetti and L. muta muta venoms have greater ...
Local tissue damage induced by Bothrops snake venoms - A review
(1989-12)
This review focuses on the local effects induced by Bothrops venoms. These envenomation are characterized by myonecrosis, hemorrhage and edema which develop rapidly after venom inoculation. Myonecrosis is caused (a) directly, ...
The occurrence of Crepidobothrium sp. (Cestoda, Proteocephalidae) in Bothrops moojeni (Hoge) (Serpentes, Viperidae)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia, 2001-06-01)
The occurrence of Crepidobothrium sp.(Cestoda, Proteocephalidae) in the intestine of Bothrops moojeni (Hoge,1965)(Serpentes, Viperidae) is reported. The host snake was rescued from the fauna in Porto Primavera dam, Mato ...
Isolation of a galactose-binding lectin from the venom of the snake Bothrops godmani (Godmann's pit viper).
(1990)
A galactose-binding
lectin, isolated from the venom of B. gotlmani by affinity chromatography . is
an acidic protein (pI 4.9) with a subunit mol. wt of about 14,000, occurring
mostly as a disulfide-linked dimer of 28,000. ...
