“…The need for understanding HSC is especially pressing in the context of climate change, since several recent studies suggest possible increases in HSC as humans and snakes respond via shifting distributions and behaviours ( Yousefi et al, 2020 ). Where range extensions occur in areas where existing levels of conflict is low, the necessary medical infrastructure may be lacking [ Zacarias and Loyola, 2019 ]) and will require increased training for doctors, scaling up of medical infrastructure and instigation of outreach programmes, concurrent with collecting more precise data for monitoring and mapping predicted and current areas of human-snake conflict ( Heathcote et al, 2019 ; Longbottom et al, 2018 ; Rifaie et al, 2017 ).…”

Snakebite incidence at least partly depends on the biology of the snakes involved. However, studies of snake biology have been largely neglected in favour of anthropic factors, with the exception of taxonomy, which has been recognised for some decades to affect the design of antivenoms. Despite this, within-species venom variation and the unpredictability of the correlation with antivenom cross-reactivity has continued to be problematic. Meanwhile, other aspects of snake biology, including behaviour, spatial ecology and activity patterns, distribution, and population demography, which can contribute to snakebite mitigation and prevention, remain underfunded and understudied. Here, we review the literature relevant to these aspects of snakebite and illustrate how demographic, spatial, and behavioural studies can improve our understanding of why snakebites occur and provide evidence for prevention strategies. We identify the large gaps that remain to be filled and urge that, in the future, data and relevant metadata be shared openly via public data repositories so that studies can be properly replicated and data used in future meta-analyses.

“…The first category consists of all highly venomous snakes with the highest medical importance and causing a high level of mortality and morbidity, while the second category consists of venomous snakes with secondary medical importance. One of the highly venomous snakes that belong to Category I in Indonesia and represent the venomous snake from the family Elapidae is the Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus) [1,2,3].…”

The antivenom for Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus) venom has not yet been available in Indonesia, leading to many fatal snakebite cases. Alternative treatment approaches using medicinal plants are needed to be explored. This study investigated the potential of medicinal plants natural bioactive compounds as toxic alpha-delta protein bungarotoxin inhibitor in B. candidus venom. The approach taken is using the 3D structure of the alpha-delta protein of bungarotoxin B. candidus predicted by SWISS-MODEL. Knapsack Family Database and PubChem were used for bioactive compounds datamining.

“…Snakebite or snakebite is one of the dangers of health factors that are included in biological hazards and often occurs in Indonesia which has a tropical climate so that they have a high risk of being bitten by snakes, especially people who work in the agricultural and plantation sectors (WHO, 2016;Rifaie et al, 2017).…”

The knowledge toward snakebite prevention was related to preventive measures taken by farmers. Besides, a lack of farmer’s awareness about the importance of using personal protective equipment and a lack of public understanding regarding the level of danger and the types of venomous snakes were factors that cause snakebites. This study aimed to describe the efforts to prevent snakebite on farmers in Panti sub-district. The method used a quantitative descriptive with survey research design. This research was conducted on farmers in Panti with a sample of 100 respondents using cluster sampling technique. The results of this study showed respondents have known tree crevices, earthen holes, piles of wood, garbage, and twigs that are at risk of becoming snake habitats, use boots and trousers while working, maximize lighting using a lamp or flashlight, regularly mow grass and shrubs, clean up scattered leaves, and rest on higher ground when at home or in the fields. While only a few respondents participated in health education and counselling regarding snake bites. This study concluded that the majority of respondents conducted efforts to prevent snakebites.
