Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody neutralization of a myotoxin from the venom of Bothrops asper (Terciopelo)
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that myotoxin is the main factor responsible for the development of myonecrosis in envenomations by B. asper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The prediction is that iELISA based on broadly cross-reacting anti-dolphin IgG antibody would be a reliable test for the diagnosis of brucellosis in odontocetes, including families not covered in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparison of the reference strain B. abortus 2308 genome with two publically available 2308 genomes showed significant differences, particularly indels related to insertional elements, suggesting variability related to the transposition of these elements within the same strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Brucella an enteric pathogen
TL;DR: The authors propose that the stealthy strategy and cognate reduction in pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of envelope molecules are crucial to Brucella pathogenicity, but it is felt that the article overemphasizes the parallels with Salmonella enterica subsp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of proteins antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxin in crotaline snake venoms
TL;DR: The presence of components antigenically related to Bothrops asper myotoxin was investigated by Western blotting and immunoelectrophoretic techniques and indicated that these components are highly heterogeneous in charge, ranging from basic to acidic proteins.
