Initially, because of the inadequate sensitivity of devices and
other limitations, only major venom components of the dominant
species were studied. However, in last two decades, increased
sensitivity of devices and the development of new techniques, such
as transcriptomics and proteomics techniques, have permitted us to
analyze the structures and functions of rare species and to
identify novel minor components. As a result, the number of venom
components identified is increasing dramatically and the
physiological functions of each component is more deeply
understood. The scope of this book provides the readers an updated
and comprehensive presentation on snake venoms. The subjects are
divided into six sections, starting with the overview of snake
venom compositions in Malaysian species, followed by description of
enzymes and enzyme inhibitors contained in snake venoms. Also
discussed are the effects of snake venom on cellular receptors, ion
channels, blood, and lymph, as well as cytotoxic and antimicrobial
molecules present in snake venoms. The last section covers the
clinical consequences of envenomation and the management of
snakebites using antivenins.
