title: European viper venoms: haemorrhagic and myotoxic activities.
abstract: Thirty-one venom samples from European vipers (genera Vipera and Daboia) were tested for haemorrhagic and myotoxic activity by intramuscular injection into mice. Most venoms exhibited haemorrhagic activity and fewer had myotoxic activity, both of which are not strictly related.
