(2008-09-01)
The mortality due to snakebite envenomation in Costa Rica for the period 1993–2006 was investigated by a retrospective analysis. There were 48 fatalities due to snakebites during this period. Mortality rates ranged from ...
Anti-human erythrocyte antibodies in horse-derived antivenoms used in the treatment of snakebite envenomations
(2007-03)
This work examined the presence of antibodies reacting with human erythrocytes in horse-derived antivenoms used in the treatment of snakebite envenomations, and assessed the efficacy of various fractionation protocols in ...
Proteomic and biological characterization of the venom of the redtail coral snake, Micrurus mipartitus (Elapidae), from Colombia and Costa Rica
(2011-12)
Venoms of the redtail coral snake Micrurus mipartitus from Colombia and Costa Rica were
analyzed by “venomics”, a proteomic strategy to determine their composition. Proteins
were separated by RP-HPLC, followed by SDS-PAGE, ...
The antimicrobial potential of Streptomyces from insect microbiomes
(2019)
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis and few novel antimicrobials have been discovered in recent decades. Natural products, particularly from Streptomyces, are the source of most antimicrobials, yet discovery ...
Biochemical and biological characterization of two serine proteinases from Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis snake venom
(2013-03-01)
Two clotting serine proteinases, named Cdc SI and Cdc SII, were isolated and characterized for the first time from Colombian Crotalus durissus cumanensis snake venom. The enzymes were purified using two chromatographic ...

Participatory risk mapping of malaria vector exposure in northern South America using environmental and population data
(2014-03-01)
Malaria elimination remains a major public health challenge in many tropical regions, including large areas of northern South America. In this study, we present a new high spatial resolution (90 × 90 m) risk map for Colombia ...
Blood flow is required for rapid endothelial cell damage induced by a snake venom hemorrhagic metalloproteinase
(2006-01)
The effects of blood flow interruption on the ultrastructural alterations induced by a snake venom hemorrhagic metalloproteinase on skeletal muscle capillary endothelial cells were studied. Saline solution or the ...
