Abstract
Variation in biological properties and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis pattern of venoms from 5 localities (Nyaungdon, Danuphyu, Daedaye, Pyapon and Pantanaw) were studied according to the WHO recommended techniques. Snakes from each locality were grouped into 2 groups (<90 cm and >90 cm). Among mature (>90 cm) snakes, potent defibrinogenating, phospholipase, capillary permeabiligy increasing activities (CPI) and lethality were observed in Daedaye venom, necrotic in Pantanaw, haemorrhagic in Pyapon and coagulant in Nyaungdone. Immature snake (<90 cm) of Danuphyu venom possessed potent CPI with poor coagulant activities and Nyaungdone venom was the least necrotic among immature snakes. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of venoms showed quantitative and qualitative changes of protein bands. In general biological properties of venoms of mature and immature snakes from the same locality are comparable except for a few differences.
