Animal Venoms
A section of Toxins (ISSN 2072-6651).
Section Information
The Animal Venoms section of the Toxins journal invites the submission of high quality manuscripts that report new investigations into all aspects of venom research, including but not limited to, venom evolution, clinical effects and case reports, bio-discovery (including applications of venom toxins as therapeutic lead compounds), and the implications of changes in venomous animal taxonomy. The editors will also consider reviews that summarize current thinking or which present controversial viewpoints for further discussion. Short communications that report important self-contained observations are also welcome.
