Impact of Regional Variation in Bothrops asper Snake Venom on the Design of Antivenoms: Integrating Antivenomics and Neutralization Approaches
(2010-10-21)
Intraspecific snake venom variations have implications in the preparation of venom pools for the generation of antivenoms. The impact of such variation in the cross-reactivity of antivenoms against Bothrops asper venom was ...
Venom, venomics, antivenomics
(2009)
Venoms comprise mixtures of peptides and proteins tailored by Natural Selection to act on vital systems
of the prey or victim. Here we review our proteomic protocols for uncoiling the composition,
immunological profile, ...

Antigen 5 Allergens of Hymenoptera Venoms and Their Role in Diagnosis and Therapy of Venom Allergy
(Current Medicine Group, 2020-07-09)
Purpose of ReviewStings of Hymenoptera of the superfamily Vespoidea such as yellow jackets, paper wasps or stinging ants are common triggers for severe and even fatal allergic reactions. Antigen 5 allergens are potent ...
Venom variation in Bothrops asper lineages from north-western South America.
(2020)
Bothrops asper is a venomous pitviper that is widely distributed and of clinical importance in Mesoamerica and northern South America, where it is responsible for 50–80% of all envenomations by Viperidae species. Previous ...
Snake venomics and antivenomics of Bothrops atrox venoms from Colombia and the Amazon regions of Brazil, Perú and Ecuador suggest the occurrence of geographic variation of venom phenotype by a trend towards paedomorphism
(2009-11-02)
The venom proteomes of Bothrops atrox from Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Perú were characterized using venomic and antivenomic strategies. Our results evidence the existence of two geographically differentiated venom ...
Snake Venomics and Antivenomics of Bothrops diporus, a Medically Important Pitviper in Northeastern Argentina
(MDPI, 2015-12)
Snake species within genus Bothrops are responsible for more than 80% of the snakebites occurring in South America. The species that cause most envenomings in Argentina, B. diporus, is widely distributed throughout the ...
Venomic analysis of the poorly studied desert coral snake, Micrurus tschudii tschudii, supports the 3FTx/PLA2 dichotomy across Micrurus venoms
(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 ...

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, ...
