Abstract
Homoiothermic white mice and guinea pigs respond to changes in ambient temperature like poikilotherms after injection of honeybee, Apis mellifera L., or cobra, Naja naja, venom. Initial body temperature drops are essential for survival and are dependent on the dosage and ambient temperature. Mortality of 100% can be reduced to less than 5% by external regulation of the animal''s body temperature. Cir-cadian rhythm and humidity also affect toxicity.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
