Venomics of the poorly studied hognosed pitvipers Porthidium arcosae and Porthidium volcanicum
(2021)
We report the first proteomics analyses of the venoms of two poorly studied snakes, the Manabi hognosed pitviper Porthidium arcosae endemic to the western coastal province of Manabí (Ecuador), and the Costa Rican hognosed ...
Proteomic and toxicological analysis of the venom of Micrurus yatesi and its neutralization by an antivenom
(2022)
Coralsnakes belong to the family Elapidae and possess venoms which are lethal to humans and can be grouped based on the predominance of either three finger toxins (3FTxs) or phospholipases A2 (PLA2s). A proteomic and ...
Venomics of the Central American Lyre snake Trimorphodon quadruplex (Colubridae: Smith, 1941) from Costa Rica
(2020)
Rear-fanged colubrid snakes include hundreds of species globally that possess a Duvernoy's venom gland and often one-several enlarged rear maxillary teeth. We investigated the venom proteome of the Central American Lyre ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparative biochemical characterization of Viperidae snake venoms from Perú reveals two compositional patterns of phospholipase A2 expression
(2020)
Snake species within the Bothrops complex (sensu lato) are of medical relevance in Latin America, but knowledge on their venom characteristics is limited, or even unavailable, for some taxa. Perú harbors 17 species of pit ...
