IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSES TO ENVENOMATION

Immunological Responses to Envenomation

Venoms are Quickstrikes complex mixtures of toxic compounds delivered by bite or sting.In humans, the consequences of envenomation range from self-limiting to lethal.Critical host defence against envenomation comprises innate and adaptive immune strategies targeted towards venom detection, neutralisation, detoxification, and symptom resolution.In s
