The impact of climate change on the burden of snakebite: Evidence synthesis and implications for primary healthcare

CONCLUSION: The impact of climate change and associated extreme weather events and anthropogenic changes on mortality, morbidity and socioeconomic burden of snakebite. Transdisciplinary approaches can help understand these complex phenomena better. There is almost no evidence available in high-burden nations of South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Community-based approaches for biodiversity and prevention, the institution of longitudinal studies, together with improving the resilience of primary care and public health systems are required to mitigate the impact of climate change on snakebite.PMID:36618235 | PMC:PMC9810950 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_677_22
