A new model predicts snakebites to save human lives

(Tel-Aviv University) The researchers focused on Sri Lanka, a snakebite hotspot, and developed a model for predicting snakebites based on the behavior patterns of both farmers and snakes. The model may be implemented in different countries, and can predict changes in snakebite patterns resulting from future climate change. It can become a valuable tool for snakebite prevention policies, saving numerous human lives.
