Abstract
The antihemorrhagic activity of muscle extract of hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, was tested on various snake venoms with hemorrhagic activit y. The extract inhibited strongly hemorrhagic activity of venoms from Bitis arietans, Bothrops jararaca and Vipera latastei gaditana, and re markably that of venoms from Agkistrodon halys blomhoffi, Bitis gaboni ca rhinoceros, Bitis nasicornis, Bothrops atrox asper, Crotalus horrid us horridus and Vipera berus. The antihemorrhagic activity against eig ht other snake Venoms was below the detection level.
