Development of a new polyspecific antivenom for snakebite envenoming in Sri Lanka: Analysis of its preclinical efficacy as compared to a currently available antivenom
A new polyspecific freeze-dried antivenom against venoms of Sri Lankan snakes was developed.
•
Antivenom was raised against venoms of Daboia russelii, Echis carinatus, Hypnale hypnale and Naja naja.
