Caryospora simplex is reported for the first time from the feces of a captive female Kaznakov's viper (Vipera kaznakovi) in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA). Coccidian meronts and gamonts were observed in the intestinal epithelial cells of another female Kaznakov's viper that died in October 1993.

Evenomation by the common European adder (Vipera berus) is well known for its significant morbidity but low mortality. Cardiac complications tend to take second place to the systemic upset and usually only comprise non-specific ECG changes. This case illustrates many of the classical features of adder bite but it is also the first account of heart block as a complication.

Vipera provides a compiler and runtime framework for implementing dynamic Domain-Specific Languages on micro-core architectures. The performance code size of the generated is critical these In this paper we present results our investigations into efficiency in terms size.

Vipera berus is the only viper i.e. venomous (poisonous) snake that is found in Poland. Snakebites occur rarely und usually follow attempts of catching the viper or accidental treading on it. Appropriate treatment consists of administering specific antivenom serum (antivenin). Four cases of snakebites hospitalized in 1989-1995 in the Department of Infectious Diseases of the University Medical S...
