Snakebite envenomation is a public health problem in many areas the world and significant cause of disability death. Crotalid venoms consist cocktail peptides enzymes that can myonecrotoxic lesions, which are associated with irreversible loss muscle tissue. The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) transmembrane protein critical role maintaining cellular Ca2+ homeostasis, central facilitating skeletal cardiac contraction/relaxation. venom-induced myotoxicity has been linked to...

Chronic wounds are a major health problem that cause millions of dollars in expenses every year. Among all the treatments used, active wound such as enzymatic represent cheaper and specific option with fast growth category market. In particular, bacterial plant proteases have been employed due to their homology human proteases, which drive normal healing process. However, use these has demonstrated results low reproducibility. Therefore, alternative sources snake venom proposed. Here, we...

Globally, snake envenomation is a well-known cause of death and morbidity. In many cases snakebite, myonecrosis, dermonecrosis, hemorrhage neurotoxicity are present. Some these symptoms may be provoked by the itself, but others secondary effects produced oxidative stress that enhances damage venom toxins. The only effect known in blood change oxidation number Fe (from ferrous to ferric) hemoglobin, generating methemoglobin not other macromolecules. Currently, overproduction derived from...

Abstract Environmental temperatures often regulate the activity and physiological processes of ectotherms. Because environmental can vary significantly among seasons, lizards exposed to different thermal conditions in months could differ how they thermoregulate or behave. Here, we present a combination field, laboratory, modeling approaches examine thermoregulation, habitat quality, hours restriction on saxicolous population Urosaurus ornatus two thermally contrasting (June October)...

Envenomation by rattlesnake bites is medical imperative. Medicine focuses on diverse fac­tors such as climate, age, sex, distribution, season of the year and diet, these make snake's venom more poisonous toxic. The objective this study to provide informa­tion seasonal variation protein content hemolytic damage produced captive wild Crotalus molossus molossus. For this, we analyzed 16 samples using colorimetric method visualized Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacryl­amide Gel Electrophoresis...

The biogeographic history of the Chihuahuan Desert is complex, driven by numerous physiographic events and climatic changes. This dynamic would have influenced flora fauna region including desert pocket gopher, Geomys arenarius, a subterranean rodent endemic to northern Desert. G. arenarius restricted sandy soils are considered disjunct distribution. Two subspecies recognized: a. brevirostris. We used multilocus nuclear (amplified fragment length polymorphisms) mitochondrial DNA (ND2)...

Rodents play a significant role in the transmission of zoonotic diseases; anthropization has increased human contact with these animals, vectors infectious agents. However, processes driving parasitism hosts remains poorly understood. Yersinia pestis, Rickettsia spp., and Francisella tularensis are three agents transmitted to humans through ectoparasites, rodents serving as primary reservoirs. To explore relationship between both intrinsic extrinsic factors on host pathogen status, we...
