Abstract

Venoms of Pseudechis porphyriacus, Pseudechis papuanus, Pseudechis australis and Denisonia superba are rich in both direct haemolysin and phospholipase A; Notechis scutatus scutatus, Oxyuranus scutellatus and Acanthophis antarcticus venoms have a high concentration of phospholipase A but a low concentration of direct haemolysin; Demansia textilis textilis venom has low concentrations of direct haemolysin and phospholipase A; method of separation of phospholipase A from venom.
