Abstract: Snake venoms are mixtures of toxins that vary extensively between and within snake species. This variability has serious consequences for the management of the world’s 1.8 million annual snakebite victims. Advances in ‘omic’ technologies have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0012570
Abstract: Background Variation in snake venoms is well documented, both between and within species, with intraspecific venom variation often correlated with geographically distinct populations. The puff adder, Bitis arietans, is found widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/toxins15010074
Abstract: Snake venoms are complex mixtures of toxins that differ on interspecific (between species) and intraspecific (within species) levels. Whether venom variation within a group of closely related species is explained by the presence, absence and/or… read more here.
