Résumé
The North African mountain viper (Vipera monticola) is a medically relevant venomous snake distributed in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Three subspecies of V. monticola, exhibiting differences in morphotypes and dietary regimes, are currently recognised: V. m. monticola, V. m. atlantica, and V. m. saintgironsi. Through the application of snake venomics, we analysed the venoms of specimens of Moroccan origin belonging to each of the three subspecies. Snake venom metalloproteinase (svMP), snake venom serine protease (svSP), C-type lectin and C-type lectin-related proteins (CTL), and phospholipase A
