Abstract:

Kraits of the genus Bungarus Daudin 1803 are widely known venomous snakes distributed from Iran to China and Indonesia. Here, we use a combination of mitochondrial DNA sequence data and morphological data to describe a new species from Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China: Bungarus suzhenaesp. nov. Phylogenetically, this species forms a monophyletic lineage sister to the Bungarus candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex based on cyt b and ND4 genes but forms a sister species pair with the species B. magnimaculatus Wall & Evans, 1901 based on COI gene fragments. Morphologically, B. suzhenaesp. nov. is similar to the B. candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex but differs from these taxa by a combination of dental morphology, squamation, coloration pattern, as well as hemipenial morphology. A detailed description of the cranial osteology of the new species is given based on micro-CT tomography images. We revised the morphological characters of B. candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex and verified the validity of three species in this complex. The distribution of these species was revised; the records of B. candidus in China should be attributed to B. wanghaotingi. We also provide an updated key to species of Bungarus.

Kraits with black and white bands from Nui Chua National Park, central Vietnam are morphologically similar to the Burmese Krait, Bungarus magnimaculatus, however, analysis of molecular data finds them to be nested within the B. candidus complex.

Abstract:

Malayan Kraits Bungarus candidus have been reported to bite humans during the night after entering dwellings. We report an observation of an adult krait feeding on a colubrid snake Chrysopelea ornata during the early morning, in the hallway of a large building at the center of a university campus in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of a wild B. candidus feeding within a building. This observation provides insight into why kraits enter human settlements, and since the event took place shortly after sunrise it also indicates that this nocturnal species can remain active during daylight when feeding. Further studies will be required to determine how often B. candidus forages among human structures.

Abstract:

The Javan Krait (Bungarus javanicus Kopstein, 1932) was described on the basis of a single specimen that had been discovered subsequent to its delivery of lethal bites to two sleeping people in a rice field hut. Until 1936, only two additional specimens were found in the vicinity of the type locality near Cirebon on the north coast of West Java province, Indonesia. The taxonomic status of B. javanicus has remained doubtful due to its great similarity to the common and widely distributed Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus), from which it was distinguished only by its black (vs. black-andwhite banded) colouration. We rediscovered B. javanicus near its type locality in 1993 and obtained substantial series of black kraits in West and Central Java provinces in 1996 and 1998. We provide a detailed redescription of the type specimen and the two other specimens of B. javanicus available to Kopstein. We then use nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to estimate relationships among 27 black and black-and-white banded kraits from Java and Bali. In addition, we use exon-primed intron-crossing primers to analyze a sequence segment of the alpha-bungarotoxin (A31) gene from ten black and black-and-white banded kraits from these islands. Four mitochondrial haplotypes were identified which exhibited minimal sequence divergence and no correlation to colouration. In particular, both external phenotypes were found in the same genealogical lineage near Indramayu, where black kraits and black-and-white banded B. candidus occur in syntopy. Neither the nucleotide sequence of intron 2 nor partial exon 2 and 3 sequences of the alphabungarotoxin (A31) gene exhibited variation within the sample from Java and Bali. Intron 2 sequence divergence between the Javan kraits and the closely related Bungarus multicinctus is 1.1%. Morphological examination of specimens of B. javanicus and B. candidus from Java revealed no differences beyond colouration. The combined evidence identifies the locally strong populations of black kraits in Java as conspecific with local B. candidus. Their regional dichromatism includes two fundamentally different patterns for predator avoidance, and is interpreted as the result of increased genetic fixation of mutations in one or several instable genes (which can cause similar pattern abnormalities in various species of Bungarus), in the course of the colonization of the alluvial plains of northern Java. These plains are of very recent origin and likely offered selective pressures different from those in older parts of the island, rendering both black and black-and-white banded phenotypes successful in predator avoidance.

Abstract:

Context: Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus) is a snake that is considered highly venomous snake and widely distributed across Southeast Asia. Envenomation by this snake is characterized by facial weakness, paralysis, respiratory muscle weakness, and in most cases, it renders the victim dead. Unfortunately, there is only one antivenom for neutralizing venom that is only available from the Thai Red Cross Society. Aims: To predict the epitopes from candoxin protein of B. candidus venom that could be a candidate for vaccine-based antivenom. Methods: In this study, IEDB and SYFPHEITHI databases were utilized to predict candoxin epitope sequences and determine their immunogenicity, conservancy, and population coverage. Next, the epitopes were modeled, and the binding interactions between epitopes and MHC-II were analyzed. The epitope that binds into the active site of human and murine MHC-II proceeded to the next step. Then, the allergenic properties of the chosen epitope were assessed to ensure its safety. Lastly, the physicochemical characteristics prediction and molecular dynamics simulation were conducted to verify the epitope’s stability when produced in vivo. Results: The results showed that epitope 47-CFKESWREARGTRIE-61 has the best binding interaction when compared to others. This epitope was confirmed that did not show potential allergenic properties. The physicochemical properties and molecular dynamics simulation demonstrated that this epitope was stable. Conclusions: The results of this study will be useful in developing a novel antivenom for Bungarus candidus using a vaccine-based method.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Many studies have reported the occurrence of lethal acute renal failure after snakebites. Bungarus candidus (Malayan krait) is a medically important venomous snake distributed widely throughout Southeast Asia. The best known features of systemic envenoming by B. candidus are neurotoxic. Objective: Obtain more information on effects of B. candidus venom on changes in systemic and renal hemodynamics in experimental animals. Methods: Twelve adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used to study the effect of B. candidus venom on general circulation and renal hemodynamics. An anesthetized animal was intravenously injected with B. candidus venom at a dosage of 50μg/kg bodyweight. All changes of parameters were observed after initial post venom injection and recorded at 30 min intervals until 150 minutes after envenomation. Results: After envenomation, cardiovascular responses showed a marked decrease in mean arterial pressure within two minutes, afterwards gradually returning closely to baseline values. There were stepwise decreases in heart rate and cardiac output, while total peripheral resistance was slightly increased. The renal hemodynamics significantly decreased by glomerular filtration rate, effective renal plasma flow and effective renal blood flow, while the filtration fraction significantly increased. Envenomed animals showed a reduction in renal fraction, while renal vascular resistance stepwise increased. The plasma potassium level tended to increase. Animals showed stepwise decreases in urinary excretion of Na+, K+ and Cl-. A marked decrease in plasma calcium level was apparent at 120 minutes, while plasma creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels increased at 30-120 minutes. Conclusion: A significant drop in blood pressure was attributed to a sustained fall in cardiac output, which would be associated with a reduction in heart rate. Sustained hypotension would contribute to reduction of renal blood flow, which results in decreased GFR.
