Study examines venom types in Crotalus durissus ruruima, highlighting challenges in antivenom effectiveness for snakebite treatments.

Type I venom shows lower hemorrhagic activity, complicating treatment efficacy with standard antivenoms.
The study identifies four differentially expressed toxins between venom types, influencing biological activity and antivenom response.
Crotalus antivenom effectively neutralizes all activities except low hemorrhagic effects of Type I venoms, revealing treatment gaps.
Clinical trials are recommended to explore Bothrops-Crotalus antivenom outcomes for treating Type I venom snakebites.

Colombini et al. (2025) studied this question.
