Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...

A randomised controlled trial of two infusion rates to decrease reactions to antivenom.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundSnake envenoming is a major clinical problem in Sri Lanka, with an estimated 40,000 bites annually. Antivenom is only available from India and there is a high rate of systemic hypersensitivity reactions.

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...
