Snake venomics, experimental toxic activities and clinical characteristics of human envenomation by Bothrocophias myersi (Serpentes: Viperidae) from Colombia
Pereañez, Jaime Andrés; Preciado Rojo, Lina María; Fernández Ulate, Julián; Camacho Umaña, Erika; Lomonte, Bruno; Castro Herrera, Fernando; Cañas Dávila, Carlos Alberto; Galvis Rizo, Carlos Andrés; Castaño Valencia, Rafael Santiago (2020)Venoms of the viperid genus Bothrocophias, restricted to Colombia and Ecuador, are poorly known. Only a proteomic analysis of B. campbelli venom has been described. In this work we present a proteomic study of B. myersi ... -
