Papuan taipan envenomation paper

oxyuranus Jun 27, 2003 09:59 PM

Hi all,

The following link is to a recently published paper on Papuan taipan bites in PNG:

Williams D, Bal B (2003) Papuan taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus canni) envenomation in rural Papua New Guinea. Annals of the Australasian College of Tropical Medicine (July) 4(1):6-9

The file is 0.97Mb but for those keeping these snakes, or interested in snakebite it is well worth reading (not that I'm biased...)

Cheers
