Enzymatic activity and brine shrimp lethality of venom from the large brown spitting cobra (Naja ashei) and its neutralization by antivenom
OBJECTIVE: Naja ashei is a snake of medical importance in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, and Tanzania. Little is known about the enzymatic (snake venom phospholipases A(2); svPLA(2)’s) and toxic (lethal) activities of N. ashei venom and crucially, the safety and capacity of available antivenom to...
