Knowledge the distribution venomous snakes necessary to identify snakebite-prone areas, develop strategies for prevention management, reduce venom-induced mortalities morbidities. Methods: An integrated effort direct observ...

Tong, Jinnan, and Douglas H. Erwin. Triassic Gastropods of the Southern Qinling Mountains, China. Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology, number 92,47 pages, 11 figures, 6 plates, 5 tables, 2001. Forty-eight species in 27 genera of gastropods, including 14 new species and one new genus, are described from earlyto middle-Triassic (Scythianto Ladinian-aged) rocks from the southern Qinling Moun...

Although chemoreception plays an important role in social organization of many lizards, only a few studies have examined the chemicals found in secretions used for intraspecific communication. We report the composition of the secretion of the femoral glands of males of the spiny-footed lizard (Acanthodactylus erythrurus). On the basis of mass spectra, obtained by GC/MS, we identified 45 lipophi...

Immune response of man to various Habu-venom toxoids with different potencies was investigated. A linear relationship was observed between circulating anti-HRI and the amount of HRI toxoid used for the basic immunization. A highly purified toxoid was 2.5 times more effective in man than partially purified ones, when compared on the basis of the immunizing unit determined in guinea pigs. Out of ...

Abstract We describe a new species of pitvipers from Trang Province Thailand, near the Thailand–Malaysian border, based on morphological and molecular (2427 bp cyt b , ND4, 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes) lines evidence. Morphologically, Trimeresurus ciliaris sp. nov. is distinguished its congeners by following combination characters: long papillose hemipenis; first supralabial nasal scale fu...
