Two color morphs of the pelagic yellow-bellied sea snake, pelamis platura, from different locations of Costa Rica: snake venomics, toxicity, and neutralization by antivenom
(Journal of Proteomics Volume 103, 30 May 2014, Pages 137–152, 2014-05-30)
The yellow-bellied sea snake, Pelamis platura, is the most broadly distributed snake species. Despite being endowed with a highly lethal venom, a proteomic analysis of its toxin composition was unavailable. The venoms of ...
Venomics of the scorpion Tityus ocelote (Scorpiones, Buthidae): Understanding venom evolution in the subgenus Archaeotityus
(2022)
The subgenus Tityus (Archaeotityus) includes small variegated species considered until recently, a basal group within Tityus, one of the most diverse and medically relevant genera of scorpions in the New World. Archaeotityus ...
Venom characterization of the bark scorpion Centruroides edwardsii (Gervais 1843): composition, biochemical activities and in vivo toxicity for potential prey
(2019)
In this study, we characterize the venom of Centruroides edwardsii, one of the most abundant scorpions in urban
and rural areas of Costa Rica, in terms of its biochemical constituents and their biological activities. C. ...
Biochemical characterization of the venom of Central American scorpion Didymocentrus krausi Francke, 1978 (Diplocentridae) and its toxic effects in vivo and in vitro
(2019)
non-buthid venoms, for which knowledge is scarce. In this work, we characterized the venom of a Diplocentridae
species, Didymocentrus krausi, a small fossorial scorpion that inhabits the Tropical Dry Forest of Central ...
New insights into the phylogeographic distribution of the 3FTx/PLA2 venom dichotomy across genus Micrurus in South America
(2019)
Micrurus is a monophyletic genus of venomous coral snakes of the family Elapidae. The ~80 recognized species
within this genus are endemic to the Americas, and are distributed from southeastern United States to ...
Venoms of Micrurus coral snakes: evolutionary trends in compositional patterns emerging from proteomic analyses
(2016-11)
The application of proteomic tools to the study of snake venoms has led to an impressive growth in the
knowledge about their composition (venomics), immunogenicity (antivenomics), and toxicity (toxicovenomics).
About ...
Profiling the venom gland transcriptomes of Costa Rican snakes by 454 pyrosequencing
(BMC Genomics, 12:259, 2011, 2011)
Background: A long term research goal of venomics, of applied importance for improving current antivenom
therapy, but also for drug discovery, is to understand the pharmacological potential of venoms. Individually ...
First look into the venom of Roatan Island´s critically endangered coral snake Micrurus ruatanus: proteomic characterization, toxicity, immunorecognition and neutralization by an antivenom
(2019)
A proteomic and toxicological study of the venom from one specimen of Micrurus ruatanus, a critically endangered
coral snake species endemic to Roatan Island, Honduras, was carried out. Immunorecognition and
neutralization ...
Snake venomics of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis from the Caribbean region of Costa Rica reveals two divergent compositional patterns in New World elapids
(2015-12-01)
Protein composition, toxicity, and neutralization of the venoms of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis, two sympatric monadal coral snakes found in humid environments of the Caribbean region of Costa Rica, were ...
Proteomic profiling, functional characterization, and immunoneutralization of the venom of Porthidium porrasi, a pitviper endemic to Costa Rica
(2019)
The genus Porthidium includes nine pitviper species inhabiting Mexico, Central America, and northern South
America. Porthidium porrasi is a species endemic to the Southwest of Costa Rica, for which no information on ...
