Materials and Methods: Snakebite cases were identified from International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code E905 and E906, as well as cases referred for eye injury from snake spit and records of antivenom use. Results: Fifty-two cases were identified: 13 patients witnessed the snake biting or spitting at them, 22 patients had fang marks and/or clinical features of envenomations and a snake was seen and the remaining 17 patients did not see any snake but had fang marks suggestive of snakebite. Most of the patients were young (mean age 33) and male (83%). The three most commonly identified snakes were cobras (7), pythons (4) and vipers (3). One third of cases occurred during work. Half of the bites were on the upper limbs and about half were on the lower limbs. One patient was spat in the eye by a cobra. Most of the patients (83%) arrived at the ED within 4 hours of the bite. Pain and swelling were the most common presentations. There were no significant systemic effects reported. Two patients had infection and 5 patients had elevated creatine kinase (>600U/L). Two thirds of the patients were admitted. One patient received antivenom therapy and 5 patients had some form of surgical intervention, of which 2 had residual disability.

THORPE School of Biological Sciences, University of Wa les Bangor, Bangor, UK Trimeresurus venustus Vogel, I 99 I was described from southern Thailand in I 991 ' and distinguished from the similar T. kanburiensis primarily by the following characters: 21 scale rows at midbody rather than I 9 and less irregular and indented supraoculars. However, very few specimens of T. kanburiensis were known at the time of this description, and the name T. venustus has not been universally accepted. Recently, live specimens from the type locality of T. kanburiensis in western Th ailand have become available, allowing a reassessment of the status -of the southern Thai population. Phylogenetic analysis of two mitochondrial gene regions indicated that specimens from south Thailand are genetically quite distinct from the specimen from the type locality, and the former are more closely related to T. macrops than to T. kanburiensis. We present a multivariate morphometric analysis of the six specimens of T. kanburiensis from the type locality that are now known and twenty specimens from southern Thai land. Despite the small sample size, it is clear that some of the diagnostic characteristics used to define T. venustus are invalid. We conclude that the current evidence indicates that T. venustus is a valid species, and present new diagnostic characters to separate it from T.

To unravel the venom composition of this species, the venom proteins were digested by trypsin and subjected to nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for proteomic profiling. Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMP) dominated the venom proteome by 48.42% of total venom proteins, with a characteristic distribution of P-III: P-II classes in a ratio of 2:1, while P-I class was undetected.

  • Substrate Thermal Properties Influence Ventral Brightness Evolution In
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-01524-w OPEN Substrate thermal properties influence ventral brightness evolution in ectotherms ✉ Jonathan Goldenberg 1 , Liliana D’Alba 1, Karen Bisschop 2,3, Bram Vanthournout1 & Matthew D. Shawkey 1 1234567890():,; The thermal environment can affect the evolution of morpho-behavioral adaptations of ectotherms. Heat is transferred from substrates to organisms by conduction and reflected radiation. Because brightness influences the degree of heat absorption, substrates could affect the evolution of integumentary optical properties. Here, we show that vipers (Squa- mata:Viperidae) inhabiting hot, highly radiative and superficially conductive substrates have evolved bright ventra for efficient heat transfer. We analyzed the brightness of 4161 publicly available images from 126 species, and we found that substrate type, alongside latitude and body mass, strongly influences ventral brightness. Substrate type also significantly affects dorsal brightness, but this is associated with different selective forces: activity-pattern and altitude. Ancestral estimation analysis suggests that the ancestral ventral condition was likely moderately bright and, following divergence events, some species convergently increased their brightness. Vipers diversified during the Miocene and the enhancement of ventral brightness may have facilitated the exploitation of arid grounds. We provide evidence that integument brightness can impact the behavioral ecology of ectotherms. 1 Evolution and Optics of Nanostructures group, Department

  • Morphological and Genetic Verification of Ovophis Tonkinensis (Bourret, 1934) in Hong Kong
    Herpetology Notes, volume 10: 457-461 (2017) (published online on 06 September 2017) Morphological and genetic verification of Ovophis tonkinensis (Bourret, 1934) in Hong Kong Jonathan J. Fong1, Alessandro Grioni2, Paul Crow2 and Ka-shing Cheung3,* Abstract. Hong Kong lies in the putative ranges of two Ovophis species: O. makazayazaya (Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, Taiwan, and northern Vietnam) and O. tonkinensis (Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan Provinces, and northern Vietnam). It is unclear which Ovophis species is/are present in Hong Kong. Previous studies identified O. tonkinensis using morphology, but without molecular data. In this study, we verified the presence of O. tonkinensis in Hong Kong using molecular (four mitochondrial DNA loci) and morphological data of two specimens. The clade that is currently identified as Ovophis tonkinensis has a large geographic range and relatively deep divergences, hinting that its taxonomy requires further work. Key words.

Studies in areas close to Hong Kong also confirmed the monticola (Gunther, 1864; 4 subspecies)) (McDiarmid presence of O. tonkinensis, including Hainan Province et al. 1999). However, Malhotra and Thorpe (2004) (morphology: David (1995), David (2001), Wang et removed the first two species from this genus so that al.
