La “coral rabo de ají” Micrurus mipartitus se distribuye en Centroamérica y Sudamérica, y es referenciada como una serpiente delgada que usualmente mide entre 60–80 cm pero que registra una longitud máxima de 120 cm. Con respecto a la dieta, se ha documentado que en su hábitat natural se alimenta de algunas especies de serpientes, lagartos, anfisbénidos, anuros y cecilias, mientras que animales en cautiverio generalmente se rehúsan a alimentarse de manera voluntaria haciendo difícil el mantenimiento. Con base en dos individuos capturados en el departamento del Huila, Colombia y del proceso de mantenimiento en cautiverio en el Centro de Investigaciones Biomédicas de la Universidad del Cauca (CIBUC), se presentan dos nuevos registros que aumentan los valores conocidos de la longitud máxima de M. mipartitus, así como nuevos componentes de su dieta.
The present research and development work focuses on ophidism or ophidic accidentthat is a forgotten public health problem, which is normally focused on antiophidic serumapplication. Complications are sometimes caused by the patients; delay to go to amedical centre and the health professionals lacking knowledge of the ophidismtreatment. In this work, we design under canvas model a Massive Open Online Course(MOOC) on introduction to ophidic accident giving a new accessible, massive anddynamic training strategy. It is nourished by the students’ contribution; unlike traditionaltraining programmes. For this reason, it is intended to promote other forms of training onprevention and knowledge of the ophidic accident, which are priority activities in theColombian territory. To end, we highlight that there exist a considerable number ofunderestimated cases due to the inadequate registration of the notification forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
