"This book comprehensively explores Asian Cobras, covering their evolutionary history, geographic distribution, venom characteristics, pathophysiology of envenomation, and treatment strategies. The introductory chapters focus on venomous snakes, placing particular emphasis on cobras and the substantial impact of snake envenomation in Asia, where it is recognized as a neglected tropical disease. The venom delivery system, including glands, dentition, and fangs, is explored in detail. The book also explores their appearance, behavior, habitat, feeding, and mating habits, along with their geographic distribution across Asia. Further, the chapters examine the venom composition of different cobra species, highlighting the variations within and between species as well as across geographic regions, supported by advanced biochemical and proteomic analyses. The medical consequences of cobra envenomation are examined, focusing on clinical manifestations such as neurotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and other serious complications, while emphasizing the role of venom variability in determining the severity of envenomation"-- Provided by publisher.
