An evolutionary "arms race” with their prey has left rattlesnakes with an ever-shifting arsenal of venom varieties, which may be one reason why snakebites are so hard to treat, a new study has found. Drew Schield, lead author of the study published Monday in Nature Ecology and Evolution, said understanding the constantly shifting nature of snake venom could help scientists design more effective treatments. "We found these rattlesnakes had a more diverse venom repertoire, more genetic tools in the toolkit, than their venom composition alone might suggest,” Schield, a postdoctoral fellow in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, said in a statement.
