Implementation of Ecological Distribution of Venomous Snakes for Clinical Management of Snakebite in Bangladesh

Background: Snakebite envenoming is a global health problem, mostly in tropical and subtropical countries. Bangladesh country facing thousands of snakebite death every year. Knowledge the distribution venomous snakes necessary to identify snakebite-prone areas, develop strategies for prevention management, reduce venom-induced mortalities morbidities. Methods: An integrated effort direct observations snakes, qualitative analysis museum specimen records, clinical records snakebites, scholarly literature were used understand pattern Bangladesh. Results: We enlist 65 snake species from present detailed documentation on their pattern. However, only nine considered medically relevant because venom potentiality kill humans available envenomation. The those divides into two major portions. A portion consists northern, northwestern, western parts country, which are habitats Naja naja, Bungarus caeruleus, B. lividus. Another comprised northeastern, southeastern, southern provides N. kaouthia, niger, Trimeresurus erythrurus. Daboia. russelii had different along bank Padma Meghna, some coastal districts. Moreover, walli scattered over country. knowledge this ecological across bears significant practical effect management snakebite. Treating physicians can have better understanding possible offending using syndromes produced by venoms. Conclusion: Pattern approaches initiate concise specific bite distinct distributional regions D. demands management. J MEDICINE 2023; 24(2): 139-151
