“…The prompt identification of the snake involved in snake bite allows selection of the correct specific antivenom which may have to be administered. Therefore, this data could be an important contribution in the development of diagnostic assays for envenomation involving snakes from the Bothrops and Lachesis genera [102,104,105].…”

“…(atrox) [103]. Moreover, in the Amazonas State (Brazil), B. atrox and L.m.muta are the snakes responsible for the majority of human accidents [104]. Consequently, treatment is still an important medical problem among the forest Amazon areas of South America including the countries of Brazil, Colombia, Equador, Venezuela, Peru and Bolivia.…”
