Intraspecific venom variation in the medically important puff adder (Bitis arietans): comparative venom gland transcriptomics, in vitro venom activity and immunological recognition by antivenom

Charlotte A. Dawson, Keirah E. Bartlett, Mark C. Wilkinson, Stuart Ainsworth, Laura-Oana Albulescu, Taline D. Kazandjian, Steven Robert Hall, Adam Westhorpe, Rachel H. Clare, Simon C. Wagstaff, Cassandra Marie Modahl, Robert A. Harrison, Nicholas R. Casewell

This study compares venom variation in Bitis arietans across three regions using transcriptomics, chromatography, and functional assays, finding substantial toxin variation but no major impact on antivenom efficacy.
