OBSOLETE. A process that begins with venom being forced into an organism by the bite or sting of another organism, and ends with the resultant modulation of apoptosis in the bitten organism. [ GOC:jl http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17983639 GOC:fj ]
Synonyms: envenomation resulting in modulation of apoptotic process in other organism
Term information
This term was obsoleted because this process is not believed to exist. Toxins cause necrosis, not apoptosis, although in some cases, damage caused by toxins may induce cells of the target organism to apoptose, but this is an indirect effect.
