Article Abstract
Research into snake venom components has intensified over the last number of decades, particularly that work directed towards the discovery of novel agents with potential applications in clinical therapy. In the present study we report, for the first time, defined patterns observed in the G-50 chromatographic elution profiles from 30 snake venoms taken from Elapidae and Viperidae families, as well as previously unreported patterns within subfamilies of these snake species. Development of this chromatographic technique thus offers a rapid method for the general classification of snakes within these families as well as providing insights into hitherto uncharacterised trends within the venoms of snake subfamilies that have opened new avenues for further investigation.

Snake envenomation is a neglected tropical disease with two million snake bites reported each year (WHO). Much less common is snake venom ophthalmia secondary to eye exposure from spitting snakes. This paper reports an unusual case of systemic envenomation via the ocular route of a 14-year old male from the Philippines.

Scorpion venom is a complex biochemical arsenal with significant ecological and biomedical importance. Advances in transcriptomic techniques have provided valuable insights into the composition and functional diversity of venoms. This systematic review analyzes transcriptomic research conducted between 2010 and 2024, focusing on methodologies such as Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

This study characterizes all medically diagnosed bites and stings in active component service members (ACSMs) from snakes, venomous fish, other venomous marine animals, arthropods, and insects identified through an evaluation of medical data from the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS). Incident trends were determined from 2008 through 2023, and incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated. In total, there were 42,552 venomous bite and sting medical encounters among 39,201 ACSMs, resulting in an IR of 19.

Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is a critical yet neglected public health issue in ASEAN countries, including Malaysia. Antivenom immunotherapy is the primary treatment for SBE, functioning by neutralising toxic venom components through antibodies raised from immunised animals. Current antivenoms come with potential reduced efficacy due to regional venom variability.

Scorpion venom contains various bioactive peptides, but there are many scorpion species whose venom has not been studied. The genus Compsobuthus, belonging to the family Buthidae, is relatively diverse, but there have been no reports on their venom components. In the present study, we characterized venom components of the Compsobuthus egyptiensis scorpion inhabiting the northern Egyptian desert.
