Bitis arietans (puff adder)

Venom composition image
Composition of B.arietans venom, studied at the proteomic level (Juarez et al., 2006). This venom contains the following families: disintegrin, kunitz-type inhibitor (venom Kunitz-type), PLA2 (phospholipase A2) , cystatin, serine proteinase (peptidase S1), C-type lectin-like (snaclec), venom metalloproteinase.
Clinical Effects, Treatment, Antivenoms See the Clinical Toxinology Resources Website
and the WHO venomous snake database to access snake distribution and antivenom products.
Lethal dose LD(50) is 285 μg/kg by intravenous injection, and
LD(50) is 870 μg/kg by intraperitoneal injection (Oukkache et al., 2014).
