Black mamba dendroaspis polylepis bite: a case report.
Although very rare in a European context, a bite from the black mamba Dendroaspis polylepis is an event that poses an immediate threat to life. Given the content of neurotoxins in the snake's venom, the mortality of envenomation reaches 100% in almost every case if ventilation is not provided in a timely manner and adequate therapy initiated. The report d...

متن کاملSnake venom toxins. The amino acid sequences of toxins b and d from Naja melanoleuca venom.
Two toxins have been isolated from the venom of the Forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca) and their amino acid sequences elucidated. Toxin b, a 71 amino acid residue molecule, is devoid of methionine and resembles toxin (x from Naja nivea venom both immunochemically and in amino acid sequence. Toxin d consists of 61 amino acid residues with alanine, phenylalanine, and leucine totally absent. Toxin d ...
متن کاملAn Unexpected Case of Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) Bite in Switzerland
Mambas (genus Dendroaspis) are among the most feared venomous African snakes. Without medical treatment, mamba bites are frequently fatal. First-aid treatment includes lymphatic retardation with the pressure immobilization technique. Medical management comprises continuous monitoring, securing patency of the airway, ensuring adequate ventilation, symptomatic measures, and administration of spec...
متن کاملSnake venom toxins. Purification, properties, and complete amino acid sequence of two toxins from Ringhals (Hemachatus haemachatus) venom.
Two toxins, designated Hemachatus haemachatus toxins II and IV, have been isolated from the venom of the South African Ringhals (H. haemachatus) by gradient chromatography on A.mberlite CG-50, and have been further purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50. The toxins are essentially homogeneous by free boundary electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, and amino acid analyses. Toxins II and IV h...
