2016, ToxiconCitation Excerpt :This difference, from a recent human case series that did not report any evidence of RBBS venom-induced prothrombin activation (Churchman et al., 2010) might reflect species and developmental haematological differences. Indeed such age-related differences in human haematological responses to Australian snake venoms have been previously documented for coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) and common tiger snake (N. scutatus) venoms (Kern et al., 2008). RBBS venom contains a potent direct haemolysin that induces extensive haemolysis in vitro (Doery and Pearson, 1961) and in vivo (Martin, 1893).
