Article Synopsis
- Lancehead snakes (Bothrops) cause 90% of snakebites in Latin America, prompting a study on the effects of B. atrox venom in male and female mice.
- The research found that male mice exhibited a lower lethal dose (LD) and more severe physical symptoms from the venom compared to females, particularly via the intraperitoneal injection route.
- Hematological changes, including a significant drop in total leukocyte levels, were more pronounced in males, indicating a greater susceptibility to B. atrox venom and highlighting the need to consider sex differences in venom studies.
