There is no anti-venom developed in India against the bite of arboreal pit vipers. I want to know if there is any work or related literature on venom proteins, anti-venomic studies or a correlated study of their systematics in this part of the planet?
Thanks in advance
Maybe these articles will be useful.

Dear Cassio, I have gone through these papers but couldn't find any relevant data regarding my query. Anyways thanks a lot for responding to my question.
Cheers!
Trimeresurus albolabris and Tropidolaemus are this characteristics.
This site: https://www.vapaguide.info/catalogue/ISSEA-TER-PIT-87 there are many types of viper, their local and some aricles, maybe a search in it, you will find many information.
Have you tried speaking with Robin Doley at your University? He and his students (such as Rajeev Kungur Brahma and Maitreyee Sharma) work a lot on different aspects of snake venoms.
Dear Ryan
Thank you so much for the response. I have joined the same lab for my PhD work. Dr. Robin Doley and his team have worked a lot on Elapidae and true vipers like Russell's viper venom, but have not worked on Pitvipers as such. Hence, I put up my question in this forum.
Best regards
