Abstract | In 2017, the World Health Organization has included snakebites in category A on the list of
neglected tropical diseases, i.e., with a high impact on world health, not receiving the necessary
attention. It is fundamental to prevent this health issue through the cooperation among
different areas of knowledge. Our goals here were to identify the potential geographical distribution
of the largest venomous American snake Lachesis muta (the Bushmaster), to support
the planning of antivenom distribution in Brazil and mitigate this disease, once this species
may cause serious accidents with a high risk of death. Occurrence records of the species were
obtained from scientific collections. Data on antivenom distribution were obtained from the
Ministry of Health and State Secretaries of Health. Our results showed climatic suitability for
L. muta in 60% of the Brazilian territory, including the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest. The
highest incidence rates and suitability values were recorded for the northern region, which is
a priority for the mitigation of this disease. Our results may help planning efficient antivenom
distribution. We also encourage mapping the distribution of other venomous species to identify
areas of occurrence and improve human health measures. | pt_BR |
