ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT:
1.Burden of snakebite and socio-economic consequences with a focus on Africa ABDULRAZAK G HABIB (NIGERIA) The burden of snakebite envenoming in addition to direct mortality, morbidity and disability also extends to the economic loss both in humans and livestock. Given that SBE is most commonly rural, in the impoverished, in outdoor professions and largely in the productive age-groups of 20-65 years, the socio-economic consequences to the victim and family are particularly devastating. 2. Reaching Zero Snakebite Deaths through Community Engagement, Supported by Multisectoral Collaboration, Research and Policy shift. SARA PADIDAR (SOUTH AFRICA) Snakebite is the most neglected of the ‘Neglected Tropical Diseases’ languishing on all fronts; clinical interest, funding, research, policy and pharmaceutical industrial buy-in. The different aspects that contribute towards the neglect, and the steps taken by Eswatini to reach zero deaths from snakebite envenoming are discussed. 3. The determinants of snake-human conflict through a one-health lens JAIDEEP C MENON (INDIA) We look at the determinants of snake-human conflict across the different geographical zones of India assessing social, behavioral, economic, environmental, demographic, occupational and health systems to assess the determinants of snake-human conflict in over 20000 victims of snakebite. This has been studied through a one-health lens framing outer and inner settings for snake-human conflict. 4. The one-health approach to reducing snake-human -livestock conflict SANGHAMITRA PATI (INDIA) Snake-human conflict is studied from the one-health approach utilizing the ‘epidemiological triad’ of agent (snake), host (human and livestock) and the environment. The socio-behavioral, health-system, and environmental and community empowerment measures towards mitigation of snake-human conflict embedded in a one-health framework carried out as an ICMR funded study ‘SARPA’ (Snakebite Awareness, Response, Prevention and Action) This organised session spanning 2 hours looks at snake-human and -animal conflict through a one-health framework, discusses various aspects with from burden, to determinants and mitigation.
