Bothropic snake venoms are a complex mixture of substances with different properties (mainly proteolytic, hemorrhagic and coagulant) that exert local action producing intense pain, edema, hemorrhage and necrosis, associated with systemic damage as coagulopathy, systemic bleeding and renal failure. Bothrops fonsecai, inhabits a limited area of Araucaria forest (Araucaria augustifolia) in A…
Bothrops sp. snake venoms cause an extensive local damage such as pain, edema, hemorrhage and necrosis, associated with systemic damage as coagulopathies systemic hemorrhage and renal failure.
