🚨 Did you know that snakebite is responsible for up to 138,000 deaths a year globally? On #WorldNTDDay, Soumyadeep Bhaumik সৌম্যদীপ ভৌমিক spoke to us about the global efforts to address this critical neglected tropical disease #NTD: buff.ly/499RhSX

Snakebite is a Neglected Tropical Disease. Each year, there are 1.8m – 2.7m cases of snakebite envenoming and 81,000 – 138,000 deaths. These could be easily prevented and treated. This #WorldNTDDay, we reaffirm our commitment to tackling snakebite envenoming. #UniteActEliminate

5.4 million people get bitten by a snake each year Despite it being a common enough occurrence across sub-Saharan Africa, the region is plagued by ineffective antivenoms – some of which are about as useful as injecting water, experts say thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-0…

Our review article on progress towards #recombinant #antivenoms for #snakebite is now published at tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… We cover snakebite, methods for #mAb discovery, do a deep dive on mAbs for neurotoxins, and discuss what is needed next to get this from concept to clinic.

Our latest in Communications Medicine shows how repurposing existing drugs can tackle snakebites. We demonstrate the effectiveness of small molecule inhibitors in treating bites from Russell's viper, responsible for nearly half of India's snakebite cases. tinyurl.com/244trx96
