Experimental myonecrosis induced by the venoms of South American Micrurus (coral snakes)
(1992)
Venoms from 11 taxa of Micrurus (coral snakes) from Brazil and Colombia were tested for myotoxic activity in mice. All venoms, except that of M. surinamensis, induced myotoxicity as judged by the increase in plasma creatine ...
Antivenomics: a proteomics tool for studying the immunoreactivity of antivenoms
(2015-03)
Envenoming following snakebite is largely a neglected threat to public health in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania addicting some of the world’s poorest rural communities. An ...
DNase activity in Costa Rican crotaline snake venoms: quantification of activity and identification of electrophoretic variants.
(1991)
DNase activity of Costa Rican crotaline snake venoms from the genera Bothrops, Crotalus and Lachesis was quantified by an enzymodiffusion method on agarose/DNA gels containing ethidium bromide. The reaction is detected as ...
Metaloproteinasas dependientes de Zinc: Protagonistas centrales en la Fisiopatología de Envenenamientos por Serpientes de la familia Viperidae
(2016)
Se presenta y discute el papel que juegan las metaloproteinasas de los venenos de serpientes (SVMPs) de la familia Viperidae en la fisiopatología de los envenenamientos inducidos por mordeduras de estos reptiles. Se hace ...
Stability, distribution and use of antivenoms for snakebite envenomation in Latin America: Report of a workshop
(2009-05)
The issues of antivenom stability and distribution, and the training of health staff in the correct use of antivenoms in Latin America were discussed in a workshop held at Instituto Clodomiro Picado, Costa Rica, in September ...
The effect of myotoxins isolated from Bothrops snake venoms on multilamellar liposomes: relationship to phospholipase A2, anticoagulant and myotoxic activities
(1991-12)
The effect of four myotoxins isolated from Bothrops snake venoms on the release of peroxidase trapped in large multilamellar liposomes was studied and correlated to their phospholipase A2, myotoxic and anticoagulant ...
Reflexiones desde la academia. Universidad, ciencia y sociedad
(2019-01)
El libro 'Reflexiones desde la academia. Universidad, ciencia y sociedad' recoge reflexiones relacionadas con la situación actual de las universidades públicas en América Latina y las encrucijadas por las que atraviesan ...
Cytotoxicity induced in myotubes by a Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper: Evidence of rapid plasma membrane damage and a dual role for extracellular calcium
(2007-12)
Acute muscle tissue damage, myonecrosis, is a typical consequence of envenomations by snakes of the family Viperidae. Catalytically-inactive Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologues are abundant myotoxic components in viperid ...
Evaluation of the neutralizing ability of antivenoms for the treatment of snake bite envenoming in Central America
(1996)
De nombreuses envenimations ophidiennes en Amérique centrale sont dues aux crotales (famille des Viperidae) parmi lesquels Bothrops asper est le principal responsable. Quelques accidents sont provoqués par les serpents ...
An electrophoretic study on phospholipase A2 isoenzymes in the venoms of Central American crotaline snakes
(1992)
The number and isoelectric points of phospholipase A2 isoenzymes were studied in the venoms of 12 Central American crotaline snakes of the genera Bothrops, Crotalus, Lachesis and Agkistrodon. The study was carried out by ...
