The monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia) is among the most feared snakes in Southeast Asia
due to its toxicity, which is predominantly derived from long-chain α-neurotoxins. The only …

The snake is the symbol of medicine due to its association with Asclepius, the Greek God of
medicine, and so with good reasons. More than 725 species of venomous snakes have …
