Venomics across the Bothrops neuwiedi Species Complex Revealed a P-III Snake Venom Metalloproteases/K49-PLA2 Dichotomy and a Remarkable Paraspecific Neutralization of the Brazilian Pentabothropic Antivenom
Snakes of the Bothrops neuwiedi complex are widely distributed and represent medically important species in Brazil. Here, we report compositional and functional profiles of the venom of seven species of Bothrops neuwiedi group: Bothrops mattogrossensis, Bothrops pauloensis, Bothrops pubescens, Bothrops diporus, Bothrops neuwiedi, Bothrops marmoratus, and Bothrops erythromelas. Toxin composition of individual and pooled venoms showed remarkable inter- and intraspecific variability of the relative abundance of toxins […]
