2 Απρ 2023 · Envenomation by sea snakes can be a potentially fatal condition if not appropriately treated, as sea snake venom is a potent neurotoxin with low LD50 values. Subsequent respiratory compromise or drowning can occur owing to the paralysis of the diaphragm and skeletal muscles, respectively.
Hydrophis schistosus, commonly known as the beaked sea snake, hook-nosed sea snake, common sea snake, or the Valakadeyan sea snake, is a highly venomous species of sea snake common throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific.
21 Μαρ 2022 · The species involved was identified in two cases (both Hydrophis zweifeli). Local effects occurred in 9 patients: pain (5), swelling (5), bleeding (2), bruising (1). Envenoming occurred in eight patients and was characterised by non-specific systemic features (6) and myotoxicity (2).
The venom of this snake is said to be responsible for more serious and fatal bites than all other sea snakes combined and is considered to have the most toxic venom. Based on studies, the myotoxic phospholipase A from the venom causes myoglobinuria in mice (Ref. 88062 ).
The venom of this species is made up of highly potent neurotoxins and myotoxins. This widespread species is responsible for the vast majority of deaths from sea snake bites (up to 90% of all sea snake bites). The LD50 value is 0.1125 mg/kg based on toxicology studies.
26 Οκτ 2017 · Venomous snakebites are emergency situations requiring prompt veterinary attention. Crotalid envenomation can cause neurotoxicity, tissue necrosis, hemolysis, and coagulopathy; North American elapid envenomation can cause neurotoxicity; and Australian elapid envenomation can cause neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, coagulopathy, and hemolysis.
3 Αυγ 2015 · By functional characterization, this is consistent with the lack of cytotoxic activity of P. platura venom [38], and perhaps also explains the lack of warning local symptom in sea snake-bitten patients — clinically, bites by sea snake produce minimal or no local symptoms.
