  • Title: The hypotensive activity of Crotalus atrox (western diamondback rattlesnake) venom: identification of its origin.
    Author: de Mesquita LC, Selistre HS, Giglio JR.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 1991 Mar; 44(3):345-53. PubMed ID: 2035756.
    Abstract:
    Viperidae snakes belonging to the genus Crotalus, subfamily Crotalinae, include the species durissus terrificus, durissus durissus, adamanteus, atrox, cerastes, horridus, molossus, scutulatus, viridis and others. All of them, except for the first 2, are found in North America. Crotalus atrox, or diamondback rattlesnakes, live in the southwest United States and in Mexico. This paper describes the fractionation of C. atrox venom in order to isolate and identify its hypotensive agents.
