  • (Equatorial Spitting Cobra) Venom a P
    The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases ISSN 1678-9199 | 2011 | volume 17 | issue 4 | pages 451-459 Biochemical and toxinological characterization of Naja sumatrana ER P (Equatorial spitting cobra) venom A P Yap MKK (1), Tan NH (1), Fung SY (1) RIGINAL O (1) Department of Molecular Medicine, Center for Natural Products and Drug Research (CENAR), Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Abstract: The lethal and enzymatic activities of venom from Naja sumatrana (Equatorial spitting cobra) were determined and compared to venoms from three other Southeast Asian cobras (Naja sputatrix, Naja siamensis and Naja kaouthia). All four venoms exhibited the common characteristic enzymatic activities of Asiatic cobra venoms: low protease, phosphodiesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase and L-amino acid oxidase activities, moderately high acetylcholinesterase and hyaluronidase activities and high phospholipase A2. Fractionation of N. sumatrana venom by Resource® S cation exchange chromatography (GE Healthcare, USA) yielded nine major protein peaks, with all except the acidic protein peak being lethal to mice. Most of the protein peaks exhibit enzymatic activities, and L-amino acid oxidase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, acetylcholinesterase, 5’-nucleotidase and hyaluronidase exist in multiple forms. Comparison of the Resource® S chromatograms of the four cobra venoms clearly indicates that the protein composition of N. sumatrana venom is distinct from venoms of the other two spitting cobras, N. sputatrix (Javan spitting cobra) and N. siamensis (Indochinese spitting cobra). The results support the revised systematics of the Asiatic cobra based on multivariate analysis of morphological characters. The three spitting cobra venoms exhibit two common features: the presence of basic, potentially pharmacologically active phospholipases A2 and a high content of polypeptide cardiotoxin, suggesting that the pathophysiological actions of the three spitting cobra venoms may be similar.

  • A Pan-Specific Antiserum Produced by a Novel Immunization Strategy
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A pan-specifc antiserum produced by a novel immunization strategy shows a high spectrum of neutralization against neurotoxic snake venoms Kavi Ratanabanangkoon1,2 ✉ , Kae Yi Tan3, Kritsada Pruksaphon4, Chaiya Klinpayom5, José María Gutiérrez6, Naeem H. Quraishi7 & Choo Hock Tan8 ✉ Snakebite envenomation is a neglected tropical disease of high mortality and morbidity largely due to insufcient supply of efective and afordable antivenoms. Snake antivenoms are mostly efective against the venoms used in their production. It is thus crucial that efective and afordable antivenom(s) with wide para-specifcity, capable of neutralizing the venoms of a large number of snakes, be produced. Here we studied the pan-specifc antiserum prepared previously by a novel immunization strategy involving the exposure of horses to a ‘diverse toxin repertoire’ consisting of 12 neurotoxic Asian snake toxin fractions/ venoms from six species. This antiserum was previously shown to exhibit wide para-specifcity by neutralizing 11 homologous and 16 heterologous venoms from Asia and Africa. We now show that the antiserum can neutralize 9 out of 10 additional neurotoxic venoms. Altogether, 36 snake venoms belonging to 10 genera from 4 continents were neutralized by the antiserum. Toxin profles previously generated using proteomic techniques of these 36 venoms identifed α-neurotoxins, β-neurotoxins, and cytotoxins as predominant toxins presumably neutralized by the antiserum. The bases for the wide para-specifcity of the antiserum are discussed. These fndings indicate that it is feasible to generate antivenoms of wide para-specifcity against elapid neurotoxic venoms from diferent regions in the world and raises the possibility of a universal neurotoxic antivenom.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Mucuna pruriens Linn. (velvet bean) has been used by native Nigerians as a prophylactic for snakebite. Rats pretreated with M. pruriens seed extract (MPE) have been shown to protect against the lethal and cardiovascular depressant effects of Naja sputatrix (Javan spitting cobra) venoms, and the protective effect involved immunological neutralization of the venom toxins. To investigate further the mechanism of the protective effect of MPE pretreatment against cobra venom toxicity, the actions of Naja sputatrix venom on spontaneously beating rat atria and aortic rings isolated from both MPE pretreated and untreated rats were studied.

  • Public Health Relevance of Sparganosis in Javan Spitting Cobra Snakes (Naja Sputatrix): a Neglected Zoonotic Disease in Indonesia
    2258 Indian Journal of Public Health Research & Development, March 2020, Vol. 11, No. 03 Public Health Relevance of Sparganosis in Javan Spitting Cobra Snakes (Naja sputatrix): A Neglected Zoonotic Disease In Indonesia Aditya Yudhana1, Ratih Novita Praja2, Dhandy Koesoemo Wardhana3, Maya Nurwartanti Yunita4, Faisal Fikri5, Eunike Melanda Fransiska6, Wardah Afifah Ismail6 1Lecturer, Department of Veterinary Parasitology, 2Lecturer, Department of Veterinary Microbiology, 3Lecturer, Department of Veterinary Public Health, 4Lecturer, Department of Veterinary Pathology, 5Lecturer, Department of Veterinary Basic Medicine, 6Assistant Lecturer, Department of Veterinary Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia Abstract Sparganosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the spargana (larvae) of Spirometra sp. (Diphyllobothriidae). Snakeare particularly important intermediate hosts for the transmission of this parasite in Asia especially Indonesia. However, their role for sparganosis in javan spitting cobra (Najasputatrix) is unrecognized. This study aimsto investigate the infection of cobra snakes with Spirometra tapeworm in Banyuwangi, Indonesia where several local sellers have been identified recently sold snakes meat for culinary purposes. A total of 37 cobra samples were bought from a localseller and euthanized. Then, continued with necropsy and parasitological examination. The result founds 71 plerocercoids within muscular and subcutaneous tissues and the prevalence were recorded at 56,7%.Our finding is the first identification confirmed recordSpirometra of tape worm in javan spitting cobra in Indonesia. Since snakes are often a component of mammalian diet, they can be a source of Spirometra tapeworm infection in human and Indonesian wildlife. However, further studies are needed to investigate the prevalence ofinfection in other reptiles and amphibian hosts. Keywords: Javan Spitting Cobra, Najasputatrix, Sparganosis, Spirometra, Zoonotic.

To determine the unique distribution of snake venom phospholipases A2 (svPLA2) in the cobras, the svPLA2 activities for 15 cobra species were examined with an acidimetric and a colorimetric assay, using egg yolk suspension and 4-nitro-3-octanoyloxy benzoic acid (NOBA) as the substrate. The colorimetric assay showed significant correlation between svPLA2 enzymatic activities with the svPLA2 protein abundances in venoms. High svPLA2 activities were observed in the venoms of Asiatic spitting cobras (Naja sputatrix, Naja sumatrana) and moderate activities in Asiatic non-spitters (Naja naja, Naja atra, Naja kaouthia), African spitters (subgenus Afronaja), and forest cobra (subgenus Boulengerina). African non-spitting cobras of subgenus Uraeus (Naja haje, Naja annulifera, Naja nivea, Naja senegalensis) showed exceptionally low svPLA2 enzymatic activities. The negligible PLA2 activity in Uraeus cobra venoms implies that PLA2 may not be ubiquitous in all snake venoms.
