Venom is a means for hunting and self-defence in some marine and terrestrial
animals. Each toxin has its unique biochemical structue, mode of action,
and pronounced effect on the metabolism and biological functions of the
intoxicated animal in a short period of time. Many animal venoms and their
derived compounds are, or potentially, good drugs for curing certain diseases.
This book discusses the morphology, habits, distribution, and evolution
of major venomous invertebrates (coelenterates, echinodermata, mollusca,
and arthropoda) and vertebrates (fishesm, amphibia, and reptilia); methods
for isolating and purifying some of the components of venoms; structure
and functions of toxin molecules; and the utilization of animal venom
in medicine and biology. In addition, this book is also an introduction
to the treatment of envenomation.
