Snake genome research expands understanding of krait venom

Bungarus multicinctus, or the many-banded krait as it commonly called, is a highly venomous elapid snake widely distributed across southern Asia. Available antivenoms show good neutralizing efficacy but can exhibit batch-to-batch variation and elicit severe allergic reactions, which may be due to poorly defined antivenom components.
