The need for integrated an approach in confronting snakebite envenoming in Latin America: The relevance of endogenous scientific and technological research

Snakebite envenomings constitute a serious public health problem on a global level, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In our Latin American region, it is estimated that at least 70,000 snakebite cases occur every year, although the actual number is likely to be higher. This pathology is...
