Abstract
Methods of preparing anavenoms of various African and Asiatic viperine and colubrine snakes are given in detail. By injns. into horses, antivenenes are formed. Through proper mixture of anavenoms, a polyvalent antivenene has been prepd. Anavenoms rather than venoms are much to be preferred in the prepn. of successful antivenenes.Keywords
