Venomic Analysis of the Poorly Studied Desert Coral Snake, Micrurus tschudii tschudii, Supports the 3FTx/PLA(2) Dichotomy across Micrurus Venoms
(MDPI, 2016)
The venom proteome of the poorly studied desert coral snake Micrurus tschudii tschudii was unveiled using a venomic approach, which identified >/=38 proteins belonging to only four snake venom protein families. The ...
South American snake venoms with abundant neurotoxic components: Composition and toxicological properties. A literature review
(Elsevier Science, 2021-12)
In South America there are three snake genera with predominantly neurotoxic venoms: Crotalus, Micrurus and Hydrophis, which include nine species/subspecies, 97 species and a single marine species, respectively. Although ...
Assessment of the potential toxicological hazard of the Green Parrot Snake (Leptophis ahaetulla marginatus): Characterization of its venom and venom-delivery system
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-06)
Snakes are the major group of venomous vertebrates, and the rear-fanged snakes represent the vast majority of species and occur worldwide; however, relatively few studies have characterized their venoms and evaluated their ...
Unveiling toxicological aspects of venom from the Aesculapian False Coral Snake Erythrolamprus aesculapii
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-06)
Most colubrid snake venoms have been poorly studied, despite the fact that they represent a great resource for biological, ecological, toxinological and pharmacological research. Herein, we explore the venom delivery system ...
First insights into the biochemical and toxicological characterization of venom from the Banded Cat-eyed Snake Leptodeira annulata pulchriceps
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2021-01)
With the aim to widen the current knowledge of toxinological implications of bites from rear-fanged snakes and biological roles of their venoms, this study focuses on the biochemical composition and toxic effects of the ...
Anti-Neurotoxins from Micrurus mipartitus in the Development of Coral Snake Antivenoms
(MDPIToxinología Alternativas Terapéuticas y AlimentariasBasilea, Suiza, 2022)
Convergence and divergence in anti-predator displays: A novel approach to quantitative behavioural comparison in snakes
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Animals in nature use many strategies to evade or deter their predators. Within venomous snake mimicry, stereotyped anti-predator behaviours are hypothesized to be effective warning signals under strong selection for ...
