Feeding behavior and venom toxicity of coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus (Serpentes: Ela- pidae) on its natural prey in captivity. Comp. Biochem. Physiol. Part C 138, 485-492.Urdaneta, A. H.; Bola~nos, F.; Gutierrez, J. M. Feeding behavior and venom toxicity of coral snake Micrurus ...
Two additional issues confound predictions about venom and coloration: (i) the extent to which snakes are venomous to humans may not be the same to as avian, mammalian, or other snake predators; and (ii) venom toxicity may be driven by effects on snake prey rather than by snake predators....
Feeding behavior and venom toxicity of coral snake Micrurus nigrocinctus (Serpentes: Elapidae) on its natural prey in captivity. Coral snakes searched for their prey (the colubrid snake Geophis godmani) in the cages. Once their preys were located, coral snakes stroke them with a ... AH Urdan...
Nevertheless, the reaction titers of anti-toxin sera are not directly related to its efficiency; if some important epitopes were neutralized, the general toxicity of the venom could be blocked even with low-titer serum, as clearly shown before [14]. Years of DNA immunization studies have shown...
venom to understand it toxicological properties. The advent in proteomic tools such as high-resolution mass spectrometry and powerful bioinformatic analysis, has led to an impressive growth in the knowledge about venom composition, thus enabling a holistic correlation of venom profile to toxicity and ...
The venom of Micrurus spixii, a coral snake dispersed throughout the Amazon Valley induces neuromuscular blockade in the rat phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation and in the chick biventer cervicis nerve-muscle preparation. In both tissues, the venom does not depress the twitch response elicited by ...
However, although no deaths have been reported during the last 30 years, given the toxicity of the venom of Micrurus snakes, the risk of severe envenomation should be considered. 机译:珊瑚蛇(Micrurus sp。)的毒害是美国最危险的伤害之一,被认为是严重的医疗急症,但是被这些蛇咬伤的情况似乎很少。

coral snake envenomations. It is mediated via blockade of presynaptic acetylcholine release as well as postsynaptic end-plate receptors. The major components of their venom are phospholipase A2 and 3 finger toxins. Symptoms of envenomation usually occur within 2 h and may involve slurred speech, ...
[47,48]), inhibition of the complement mediating lysis (CD59, [44]) and snake venom [49]. The principal structural features of this domain are the presence of (i) 8 to 10 cysteine residues involved in di-sulphide bond formation, and (ii) a typical motif “CCXXDXCN” at the C-...
