Snakebite affects more than two million people, causing around one hundred thousand deaths annually, and this number is four times higher when amputations and other sequelae are taken into account. The high mortality and incidence led the World Health Organization to categorize snakebites as a category A neglected tropical disease, the highest of the class. In Brazil, about 90% of cases a…
Snake envenomation is an important public health problem in Brazil and in other countries due to its frequency and severity. Some studies have shown that every year there are around 5.4 - 5.5 million accidents which result in more than 400.000 amputations and from 20.000 to 125.000 deaths in whole world. Bothrops envenomations are responsible for 90% of snake bites in Brazil and for the p…
Considered an important cause of accidents by venomous animals worldwide, snakebite is a major public health problem due to its frequency and severity. In Brazil, snakes of the genus Bothrops are responsible for a large percentage of bites, between 70-90%, and the botropic venom is a highly complex mixture, which when interacting with human proteins triggers several local symptoms, such a…
Currently, around 1 billion people live in multidimensional poverty, which makes them more vulnerable to neglected diseases. Accidents caused by venomous animals affect millions of people every year around the world, generating social, economic and public health impacts. Accidental contact with the Lonomia obliqua caterpillar can cause hypotension, pain, a burning sensation, edema, change…
Considered by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease of the largest category, snakebite affects about five million people, causes about one hundred thousand deaths annually, and approximately four hundred thousand amputations and other sequelae. In Brazil, about 90% of accidents are caused by snakes of the genus Bothrops; Its venom is a highly complex mixture of pro…

The objective of the present study is to evaluate in real time in Biacore T200 System (analytical method considered the gold standard), the interaction between human thrombin and human fibrinogen and if peptide inhibitors interfere in this interaction. Moreover, intends to elucidate the mechanism of inhibition of these peptides in relation to the botropic venom serinoproteases.
