Persistent spatial hotspots and socioeconomic inequalities of snakebite envenoming in Peru: A nationwide spatiotemporal analysis, 2010-2025 PLOS (Public Library of Science)

Author summary Snakebite envenoming is a major public health problem that mainly affects poor rural populations living in tropical regions. In Peru, most snakebite cases occur in the Amazon, where many communities depend on agriculture, fishing, forestry, and river transport, often with limited access to healthcare and antivenom treatment. Despite this, little was known about how snakebite risk has changed across Peru over time or whether the same high-risk areas persist year after year. In this study, we analyzed national snakebite surveillance data from 2010 to 2025 to identify long-term spatial patterns of snakebite envenoming in Peru. We found that snakebite risk is not randomly distributed but concentrated in persistent hotspot districts located mainly in the northern and central Amazon. These hotspots also overlapped with areas environmentally suitable for medically important venomous snakes and with districts presenting lower levels of human development. Our findings show that snakebite envenoming in Peru is strongly linked to both environmental conditions and social inequalities. Identifying persistent high-risk areas may help improve epidemiological surveillance, prevention campaigns, and antivenom distribution in vulnerable Amazonian populations.
