You'll have to search mid-winter for the original discussions on the topic.

Specific tests havn't been done on all monitors, but it's very likely that at least the majority of them have well developed venom glands along the lower jaw. The information is new enough where many deductions have been made, but few have yet to be proven. For instance, is this why varanid bites tend to ache more and bleed longer? Perhaps, but we dont' know. Does this explain further, why the komodo dragon's bite kills the way it does (bacteria aside)? We just don't know yet.

For more detailed info, and the actual study itself, go to venomdoc.com
