Echis edits
Greetings, Milletienne! I just saw your edits to the Echis article. I've reworked them a bit so that your statement (which I also moved up a little in the Venom section) is now linked to the reference you so thoughtfully provided. I've also added some wikilinks (wlinks) to the terms you used. Is this what you intended? If not, let me know and we'll change it.

So, are you interested in snakes, or just toxinology? --Jwinius 17:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I am interested in neurotoxicology. ME

Very good; that means you probably know more about toxicology than I do (and I could use some help). Unfortunately, there are relatively few members of the Viperinae that have neurotoxic components in their venom; I can only think of Bitis atropos and Pseudocerastes persicus fieldi. Among the Crotalinae, there is Crotalus durissus and C. scutulatus. I have also heard suggestions that neurotoxic activity may also be present in the venom of a few other species, such as Vipera aspis, Daboia russelii and Crotalus horridus atricaudatus, but the evidence for this is not as clear.
