Our present focus is on venomous animals, starting with venomous snakes. Our databases already have nearly 700 species and major subspecies of venomous snakes included, covering the entire Viperid, Elapid and Atractaspid fauna, plus selected Colubrids. Eventually all snakes will be listed, not just venomous species. There are separate databases for snake taxonomy, venoms, clinical effects and treatment. This varies significantly from other antivenom lists published or on the internet, because we only include currently active producers who respond to inquiries.
Many producers listed elsewhere are no longer active.
Our databases will contain details of all Buthid scorpions and selected non-Buthid species, again covering taxonomy, venom, clinical effects and treatment. We will select groups of medical importance only, at least at first, with venom, clinical effects and treatment information. For instance, a complete listing of all cone shell species is already within our marine databases, but we will not initially list all species of venomous fish, concentrating information rather at family or genus level. For each group or species there will be venom, clinical effects and treatment information. This section will be either delayed for several months or will initially only be offered at overview level.
