	Oxyuranus microlepidotus (PIM 394)
		Oxyuranus venom is a complex mixture of protein and non-protein components, not all of which have been fully evaluated.
		This is sufficient to neutralise the "average" amount of venom produced by a single milking of one snake (Oxyuranus scutellatus).
		Subsequently the dead snake was identified as a taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) and later as a western taipan (O. microlepidotus).

	North-west Taipan Oxyuranus scutellatus barringeri subsp. nov.
		Oxyuranus scutellatus canni is restricted to New Guinea.
		The status of Oxyuranus specimens from the tropical parts of the Northern Territory and nearby Islands (previously assigned by most authors to Oxyuranus scutellatus) is uncertain, but it is expected that they will be closer in attributes to Oxyuranus scutellatus barringeri than the other races, including the race Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus.
		Although Oxyuranus scutellatus barringeri is little known to science, it may not be rare in the wild in spite of the small number of specimens lodged with museums to date.

	Taipan - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Taipans are large (up to 3 metres in length), fast, highly venomous Australian snakes, which have the most toxic venom of any land species worldwide.
		There are two species - the Taipan and the less common Fierce Snake (also known as Inland Taipan and Small Scaled Snake) (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) - as well as two subspecies of the Taipan.
		Those subspecies are the widespread Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus) and the Papuan Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus canni) which is native to the southern coast of Papua New Guinea.

	Taipan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There exist two species: the common taipan, and the less common inland taipan (also known as the fierce snake and small-scaled snake) (Oxyuranus microlepidotus).
		The common taipan is broken up into two subspecies, the mainland coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus) and the Papuan taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus canni) which is native to the southern coast of Papua New Guinea.
		Their diet consists primarily of small rodents, especially rats and bandicoots.

		Oxyuranus (Taipan) - clinical pathology and pharmacology of venom
		Bites from the taipan Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus produces pathologies similar to that of the Papuan taipan, causing severe neurological disturbances; like Notechis scutatus, Oxyuranus scutellatus inhibits Ca2+-dependent K+ transport.
		In addition, the venom has been shown to cause spheroechinocytosis which may result in an increase in blood viscosity and contribute to the clinically seen spontaneous bleeding but with the majority of the bleeding effects coming from the procoagulants found in the venom.

	JCU - HPC Research Proposals at JCU
		The genus Oxyuranus includes three of the largest and most feared Australasian snakes, and are listed within the top ten of the worlds most venomous snakes.
		Despite comparative differences in the proportions of venom components the Oxyuranus species have been reported to be closer to those of each other than to those of any other large Australian elapid snakes.
		The objectives of this study were: firstly, to conduct a comparative study of the composition of venom proteins from the three Oxyuranus species; and secondly to clone and characterise venom specific proteins.

	Venom of the Taipan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Taipan snakes (Oxyuranus) belong to the elapid family.
		They are among the most dangerous land snakes in the world, their bite being almost invariably fatal if untreated (1).
		The coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus scuttelatus) and inland taipan (fierce snake, Oxyuranus microlepitodus) are indigenous to Australia, whereas the Papuan taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus canni) can be found in parts of Papua New Guinea (2).

	taipan snake venoms and snakebites
		First aid for taipan snake bite is the same as for other snakebites and is based on immobilising the venom at the bite site until medical treatment can be obtained.
		This snakebite first aid is commonly known as the pressure immobilisation bandage technique for snakebite and other forms of envenoming (envenomation).
		In most such cases 3-4+ vials of CSL Taipan Snake Antivenom will be required intravenously to reverse the severe coagulopathy (bleeding disorder) and prevent progression of paralysis and muscle damage.

		Oxyuranus microlepidotus, or the Inland taipan (formerly known as the fierce snake or western taipan) is far and away the most toxic land snake in the world, with a lethal dose estimated to be fifty times that of the Indian cobra Naja naja.
		The venom has a potent neurotoxic mechanism that causes a significant loss of synaptic vesicles and other neuropathology's similar to that elicited by taipoxin from Oxyuranus scutellatus.
		However, a specific neurological factor has not been isolated which can be held responsible for the acute potency of this venom.

	Inland Taipan Oxyuranus microlepidota.
		For the Inland Taipan, the scalation is smooth with 23 mid body rows, 220-250 ventrals, anal is usually single, and 55-70 divided subcaudals.
		This snake shares with the Coastal Taipan Oxyuranus scutellatus the distinction of being Australia’s deadliest snake, in terms of venom deadliness per bite.
		In the wild it is believed that the Inland Taipan feeds principally on the plague rat Rattus villosissimus.

		This is an extremely venomous and dangerous snake which is found in a variety of habitats throughout eastern Papua New Guinea where it has caused numerous human fatalities.
		Administer the antivenom at a rate as tolerated by the patient, and beginning at a rate of 10 mls/ minute (i.e., 300 units/min).
		The Papuan Taipan is very closely related to the Australian Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus), and is a significant medical problem in New Guinea.

	Protocol Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)
		The Inland Taipan is the most venomous terrestrial snake known to man; perhaps the most toxic of all snakes in the world.
		Prior to the introduction of specific antivenom, the envenomation fatality rate was essentually 100%.
		There have been two documented cases of envenomation by Oxyuranus microlepidotus.
