Handbook of Venoms and Toxins of Reptiles

Bringing together contributions from many of the world's leading experts in toxinology, this handbook covers a broad range of topics relevant to a wide range of professionals including clinicians, biomedical researchers, herpetologists, and zoologists, as well as pharmacologists and evolutionary scientists. It discusses phylogeny and gland structure, venom enzymes and toxins, non-protein venom components, and envenomation and its treatment. It contrasts ideal treatments with those that are actually available in specific areas of the world. The text also addresses venom enzymes and assay procedures used to detect venoms along with venom toxins.
