Introduction.
The genus Cerastes, Laurenti 1768, consists of snakes commonly known as horned vipers. Some clinical effects following snake bite are due to PLA2 and proteases which are among the major components of viper venoms. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Cerastes cerastes Venom (CCV) on hepatocyte mitochondria pathological changes and blood cell counts. They are usually known as the "Horned Vipers", the "North African Desert Vipers", or the "Cerastes Vipers". Common in the Sahara desert, it is most frequently found between Egypt and Morocco. Biomolecules from Cerastes cerastes venom have been purified and characterized. INTRODUCTION: The Saharan horned viper (Cerastes cerastes) is a common snake in the sandy and rocky regions in the south of Morocco.
Thirty three rats were divided randomly into three groups Negative Control (NC), Positive Control (PC) and treatment.

Introduction Cerastes cerastes Linneatus, 1758 (Sahara, African, Egyptian, Desert, Sand, Horned Viper) is a common viper snake, which occurs mainly in the sandy and rocky regions of North Africa, from south-eastern Morocco to Egypt, the southern to the central regions of Mali, Niger, Chad and Somalia. Introduction The bite of the viper Cerastes vipera has a serious medical problem.
Serine proteases and phospholipases A2 isolated from snake venoms act on the hemostatic system as procoagulants, anticoagulants, pro- or anti-platelet aggregants.
