Jason, if you Google ``LD50 Levatine Viper`` you will get several websites with the information you are looking for. A good example is this one:

Hope this helps.

In the book, Living Snakes of the World, John Mehrtens states that levantine vipers "have a dangerously toxic venom and a bite, particularly from a larger specimen, is potentially lethal. Fatalities have been recorded for domestic animals, such as dromedary camels and horses, as well as humans."
