Although previous attempts have been made to quantify the global burden of SE, accurate, up-to-date data remain scarce. Here we present a comprehensive re-evaluation of the global burden of snakebite, 17 years after our initial estimate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods and findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A new literature review was conducted on snakebites, SE and mortality published in any language, up to March 31, 2025, to update the knowledge accumulated since our first global burden estimate. Based on country- and region-level aggregated data, and hospital and community-based survey data, we modelled SE and mortality burden in relation to geographic location.

Low-income countries exhibit the highest incidence and mortality rates, with sub-Saharan Africa accounting for 45% of global envenomings and deaths, nearly three times the incidence observed in South Asia.
