“…This One Health relevance of the temporospatial mapping in SnakeMap may emerge as very important, not only in Australia, but also with implementation in other countries. More than 100,000 deaths occur annually in people worldwide with many more disabled because of a snake bite 14‐16 . In Australia, snake bites are much more common in dogs and cats than in humans.…”

SnakeMap: four years of experience with a national small animal snake envenomation registry

et al. 2020

SnakeMap is a national cloud‐based, veterinary snakebite registry. It was designed to prospectively collect data of the clinical circumstances and temporospatial information on cases of snake envenomation in dogs and cats. We herein introduce the project and summarise the data from the first 4 years of SnakeMap. The registry is a veterinary community‐based online database allowing case entry from veterinary hospitals across Australia. Registry data comprise hospital characteristics, patient characteristics, envenoming snake type, treatment and outcome variables, including time and geolocation of the snake bite. We present summative information on select key variables from the SnakeMap registry (1 July 2015 to 30 June 2019). Twenty‐eight hospitals from 6 states/territories entered 624 cases into the registry, including 419 dogs (67%) and 205 cats (33%). Bite time was available in 216 animals of which 90 (42%) were reported to be bitten in the 3 hours between 03:00 pm and 05:59 pm; median bite to presentation interval was 60 (interquartile range [IQR] 30, 211) minutes in dogs and 95 (IQR 41, 238) minutes in cats. Bites occurred in the owner's yard in 356 dogs (85%) and 53 cats (26%). A snake venom detection kit was used in 172 cases (28%) and antivenom was administered in 523 cases (85%). Most animals (n = 534, 88%) survived to discharge (median hospitalisation of 25 [IQR 16, 62] hours). SnakeMap effectively collects relevant clinical data from dogs and cats with presumed snake bite and provides locally specific information on the epidemiology of snake envenomation in small animals.

“…In central Costa Rica, terciopelos ( Bothrops asper ) are estimated to cause approximately 10,000 cattle envenoming cases per year, prompting the development of a toxoid vaccine [9]. This problem extends to other regions of the world, as identified in a recent scoping review [10]. Various types of domestic animals, including pets, horses, goats, cattle, and camelids, have been reported to be affected by venomous snakes, causing fatality rates of above 47% in livestock.…”

“…Various types of domestic animals, including pets, horses, goats, cattle, and camelids, have been reported to be affected by venomous snakes, causing fatality rates of above 47% in livestock. Most of the snake species identified in the aforementioned review are medically important venomous snakes (according to WHO) that also threaten human lives and their livelihoods [10].…”

Paediatric snakebite envenoming: the world’s most neglected ‘Neglected Tropical Disease’?

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Snakebite disproportionally affects children living in impoverished rural communities. The WHO has recently reinstated snakebites on its list of Neglected Tropical Diseases and launched a comprehensive Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Snakebite Envenoming. In the first of a two paper series, we describe the epidemiology, socioeconomic impact and key prevention strategies. We also explore current challenges and priorities including the production and distribution of safe and effective antivenom.
