Horses have been used to make antivenom for more than a century. Could our new research offer a better way?
- Professor & Head of Section at the Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark
By reporting this new way that future antivenoms can fail, the research has highlighted a problem with current antivenom testing recommendations.
The World Health Organisation has a plan to halve deaths and disability from snakebites

The best cure against a snakebite is to avoid being bitten at all. Here is what you need to know about snakebites, antivenom, and what you need to do if bitten.
One way to tackle the snakebite antivenom crisis may be through biotechnological innovation to make antivenoms more cost-effective, easier to produce, and more efficacious against snakebites.
