| borneo venomous snakes: Guidelines for the Management of Snakebites Second Edition Who Regional Office for South-East Asia, 2016-08-17 Snakebites are well-known medical emergencies in many parts of the world especially in rural areas. Agricultural workers and children are most affected. The incidence of snakebite mortality is particularly high in South-East Asia. Rational use of snake anti-venom can substantially reduce mortality and morbidity due to snake bites. These guidelines are a revised and updated version of those published in 2011. The geographical coverage extends from India in the west to DPR Korea and Indonesia in the east Nepal and Bhutan in the north and to Sri Lanka and Indonesia in the south and south-east. Snakes inhabiting the Indonesian islands east of Wallace?s line (West Papua and Maluku Islands) are part of the Australasian elapid fauna differing from those west of this line. This publication aims to pass on a digest of available knowledge about all clinical aspects of snake-bite to medically trained personnel including medical doctors nurses dispensers and community health workers. They aim to provide suffcient practical information to allow medically trained personnel to assess and treat patients with snake-bites at different levels of the health service. |

| borneo venomous snakes: Land Snakes of Medical Significance in Malaysia Ahmad Khaldun Ismail, Teo Eng Wah, Indraneil Das, Taksa Vasaruchapong, Scott A. Weinstein, 2017-07-03 The purpose of this book is to highlight the potentially dangerous species to humans, with a list of the main potentially medically significant snakes. It is important to note that if a species is not listed below, it does not necessarily mean that it does not exist in Malaysia nor that its bite cannot cause harmful effects in humans. In particular, the list of colubrid (non-front-fanged) snakes has been selective, to include only a number known to be of potential medical significance. It is also important to note that a poor surveillance of the pet trade and irresponsible importation of exotic snakes may introduce a medically significant species, which is not indigenous to Malaysia. This may add to the complexity of managing envenomings in this country. |

| borneo venomous snakes: The Lives of Snakes Chris Mattison, 2025-03-18 A richly illustrated introduction to the marvelous world of snakes Descended from prehistoric lizards, snakes have been slithering across the earth for more than a hundred million years. There are some 4,100 species known to exist, and many are venomous, but many more are not. Snakes experience the world in unique ways, smelling the air with their tongues and relying on signs of movement for orientation. They are ectothermic, needing external heat for energy, and must shed their skin to grow. This guide offers a unique look at the lives of snakes, exploring their life cycles, diets, defenses, locomotive strategies, and more. Written by an internationally recognized herpetologist and informed by the latest science, The Lives of Snakes blends captivating photos with engaging, fact-filled profiles of selected species to provide an invaluable introduction to these splendid reptiles. Combines beautiful illustrations, clear graphics, and lively text to inform and entertain Features dozens of representative species profiles Covers topics ranging from evolution and diversity to habitats and reproduction Examines how snakes coexist with humans Discusses threats to the world’s snake populations and their conservation A must for snake lovers everywhere |

| borneo venomous snakes: Snake Venoms C.-Y. Lee, 2012-12-06 The past decade has been a period of explosion of knowledge on the chemistry and pharmacology of snake toxins. Thanks to the development of protein chemistry, nearly a hundred snake toxins have been purified and sequenced, representing one of the largest families of sequenced proteins. Moreover, the mode of action of these toxins has been largely elucidated by the concerted efforts of pharmacologists, electro physiologists, and biochemists. As a result of these studies, some of the snake toxins, e.g., a-bungarotoxin and cobra neurotoxins, have been extensively used as specific markers in the study of the acetylcholine receptors. Indeed, without the discovery of these snake toxins, our knowledge of the structure and function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors would not have advanced so rapidly. The contribution of snake venom research to the biomedical sciences is not limited to the study of cholinergic receptors. Being one of the most concentrated enzyme sources in nature, snake venoms are also valuable tools in biochemical research. Venom phosphodiesterase, for example, has been widely used for structural studies of nucleic acids; proteinase, for the sequence studies of proteins and pep tides ; phospholipase A , for lipid research; and L-amino acid oxidase for identifying optical z isomers of amino acids. Furthermore, snake venoms have proven to be useful agents for clarifying some basic concepts on blood coagulation and some venom enzymes, e.g., thrombin-like enzymes and pro coagulants have been used as therapeutic agents. |
| borneo venomous snakes: The Book of Snakes Mark O'Shea, 2024-01-02 Updated to reflect the most recent species classifications, a second edition of the beautifully illustrated and beloved guide to 600 members of the suborder Serpentes. For millennia, humans have regarded snakes with an exceptional combination of fascination and revulsion. Some people recoil in fear at the very suggestion of these creatures, while others happily keep them as pets. Snakes can convey both beauty and menace in a single tongue flick, and so these creatures have held a special place in our cultures. Yet, for as many meanings as we attribute to snakes—from fertility and birth to sin and death—the real-life species represent an even wider array of wonders. Now in a new edition, reflecting the most recent species classifications, The Book of Snakes presents 600 species of snakes from around the world, covering roughly one in seven of all snake species. It will bring greater understanding of a group of reptiles that have existed for more than 160 million years and that now inhabit every continent except Antarctica, as well as two of the great oceans. This volume pairs spectacular photos with easy-to-digest text. It is the first book on these creatures that combines a broad, worldwide sample with full-color, life-size accounts. Entries include close-ups of the snake’s head and a section of the snake at actual size. The detailed images allow readers to examine the intricate scale patterns and rainbow of colors as well as special features like a cobra’s hood or a rattlesnake’s rattle. The text is written for laypeople and includes a glossary of frequently used terms. Herpetologists and herpetoculturists alike will delight in this collection, and even those with a more cautious stance on snakes will find themselves drawn in by the wild diversity of the suborder Serpentes. |

| borneo venomous snakes: Forest Killers Aiden Feynman, AI, 2025-02-12 Forest Killers explores the fascinating world of apex predators in forest ecosystems, emphasizing their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. The book delves into predator-prey interactions, highlighting how species like jaguars, anacondas, and venomous snakes have evolved unique hunting strategies. These predators are vital for controlling populations and preventing trophic cascades, where the removal of a top predator can drastically alter the entire ecosystem. The book examines the ecological impact of these forest dwellers and their behaviors, revealing how jaguars, for instance, use stealth and power to hunt, while anacondas rely on constriction to subdue their prey. Venomous snakes display an array of venom types adapted to their specific prey. Importantly, it addresses the increasing threats these predators face due to habitat loss and human activities. The book progresses systematically, beginning with ecological principles and moving into detailed studies of specific predators. It blends scientific research with accessible language, making it valuable for students, conservationists, and anyone interested in nature and biology. By understanding these complex relationships, the book aims to inform conservation efforts and promote greater awareness of the importance of protecting these vital species. |
