First insights into the venom composition of two Ecuadorian coral snakes
(2022)
Micrurus is a medically relevant genus of venomous snakes composed of 85 species. Bites caused by coral snakes are rare, but they are usually associated with very severe and life-threatening clinical manifestations. Ecuador ...
Snake venomics and antivenomics: Proteomic tools in the design and control of antivenoms for the treatment of snakebite envenoming
(2009-03-06)
Snakebite envenoming represents a neglected tropical disease that has a heavy public health impact, particularly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. A global initiative, aimed at increasing antivenom production and ...

Good management practices of venomous snakes in captivity to produce biological venom-based medicines: achieving replicability and contributing to pharmaceutical industry
(2021-01-01)
One of the factors responsible for lack of reproducible findings may be attributed to the raw material used. To date, there are no apparent studies examining reproducibility using venoms for the development of new toxin-based ...
Strategies in 'snake venomics' aiming at an integrative view of compositional, functional, and immunological characteristics of venoms
(2017-04)
This work offers a general overview on the evolving strategies for the proteomic analysis of snake venoms, and
discusses how these may be combined through diverse experimental approaches with the goal of achieving a

Predictors of Bothrops jararaca venom allergy in snake handlers and snake venom handlers
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Since allergic sensitization to snake venom has been reported, anaphylactic reactions to snake venom might be an underestimated factor contributing to fatal snakebites, independently from the toxicity of the venom itself. ...
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 ...

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 ...
