class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate change is expected to have profound effects on the distribution of venomous snake species, including reductions in biodiversity and changes in patterns of envenomation of humans and domestic animals. We estimated the effect of future climate change on the distribution of venomous snake species and potential knock-on effects on biodiversity and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We built species distribution models based on the geographical distribution of 209 medically relevant venomous snake species (WHO categories 1 and 2) and present climatic variables, and used these models to project the potential distribution of species in 2070. We incorporated different future climatic scenarios into the model, which we used to estimate the loss and gain of areas potentially suitable for each species. We also assessed which countries were likely to gain new species in the future as a result of species crossing national borders. We integrated the species distribution models with different socioeconomic scenarios to estimate which countries would become more vulnerable to snakebites in 2070.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Findings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our results suggest that substantial losses of potentially suitable areas for the survival of most venomous snake species will occur by 2070. However, some species of high risk to public health could gain climatically suitable areas for habitation. Countries such as Niger, Namibia, China, Nepal, and Myanmar could potentially gain several venomous snake species from neighbouring countries. Furthermore, the combination of an increase in climatically suitable areas and socioeconomic factors (including low-income and high rural populations) means that southeast Asia and Africa (and countries including Uganda, Kenya, Bangladesh, India, and Thailand in particular) could have increased vulnerability to snakebites in the future, with potential effects on public human and veterinary health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interpretation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loss of venomous snake biodiversity in low-income countries will affect ecosystem functioning and result in the loss of valuable genetic resources. Additionally, climate change will create new challenges to public health in several low-income countries, particularly in southeast Asia and Africa. The international community needs to increase its efforts to counter the effects of climate change in the coming decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">German Research Foundation, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient\u00edfico e Tecnol\u00f3gico, Coordena\u00e7\u00e3o de Aperfei\u00e7oamento de Pessoal de N\u00edvel Superior, German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovaci\u00f3n de Espa\u00f1a, European Regional Development Fund.Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lanplh\/article\/PIIS2542-5196(24)00005-6\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lanplh\/article\/PIIS2542-5196(24)00005-6\/fulltext<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Models all the way down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In venomous snake filled Australia, we\u2019ve developed a very simple solution to the snake threat: Buy a cat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greens complain about house cats decimating the local wildlife, and this complaint is largely true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one of the forms of wildlife cats are really keen on killing is venomous snakes.

Though to be fair it probably climbed into the rafters in the first place because my cat was stalking it. The snake got away on that occasion, though the snake was badly wounded \u2013 the cat clawed and bit it, but the snake managed to slip through a crack in a fence where the cat couldn\u2019t follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, encounters between snakes and cats are less common in an urban environment, my snake encounter occurred when I was living on an acreage property.
