2.3 VENOMOUS SNAKES MOST DANGEROUS TO HUMANS.
The two major families of snakes account for most venomous snakes dangerous to humans.
1. The Elapidae(Elapid family) includes
a. The cobras (Naja and other generals of Asia and Africa.
b. The mambas (Dendroaspis) of Africa, the kraits (Bungamus) of Asia.
c.
The coral snakes (Micurus ) of America and the Australian Elapid which
include the coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus)
d. The tiger snakes (Notechis), king brown snake (pseudechis Austrailis) and
e. Death adders (Acanthopis)
f. Highly venomous sea snakes are closely related to Australian Elapid.
2. The viperidae (Viper family)
a.
Western Diamond back rattles snakes. (Crotalus atrox) an American pit
viper with rattle vibration. This is one of the most dangerous snakes of
North America.
b. Timber rattles snakes (Crotalus horridus) American pit viper caught yawning after a big meal.
c. Cotton mouth or water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorous) American pit viper usually found near river.
2.4 THE BITE.
• Poisonous snake inject venom using modified salivary glands.
•
During envenomation (the bite that inject venom or poison), the venom
passes from venom gland through the duct into the snake fangs and
finally into its prey.
• However, not all bites lead to envenomation. Snake can regulate whether to release venom and how much to release.
• Dry bite: this is the bite where no venom is injected. The conditions occur between 25-50% of the snake bite.
The
variation is species of venom specific (SS) with approximately 25% of
pit viper bites. Snake venom is therefore a combination of numerous
substances with varying effects. I.e. the effect of the venom on the
prey (human being).
In simple terms, these proteins can be divided into four categories:
1. Category one = cytotoxins = caused local tissues damage.
2. Category two = Hem toxin = caused internal bleeding
3. Category three = Neurotoxins = caused or affects the nervous system.
4. Category four = Cardiotoxins = acts directly on the heart.
2.4.1 NUMBER OF BITE AND FATALITY.
The
number of bites and fatalities vary markedly by geographical region
reporting of snake bite is not mandatory in many areas of the world
making it difficult to determine the number of bites.
2.4 EFFECTS OF BITE ON HUMAN SYSTEM.
a. Hem toxins: this destroys the red blood cells causing bleeding from bite site and many parts of the body.
b. Vascular toxins: destroy blood thereby making blood to lose clotting factors.
c. Neurotoxins destroy the central nervous system causing muscles death.
