Without treatment, a bite from the African bush viper is usually fatal.

[3] Atheris-specific antivenom does not exist[2] and antivenom meant for bites from other species seem to have little effect, although Echis antivenom has been reported to have been of some help in a case of A. squamigera envenomation. The rostral scale is not visible from above. Corrigan P, Russell FE, Wainschel J. Uses Venom from Atheris nitschei finds many applications in therapeutic, proteomic Research (see Venom content).It can also be used as an immunogen for the manufacturing of antivenoms aimed at Central Sub-Saharan Africa (see Geographical Distribution of Atheris nitschei).Atheris nitschei is a species of highest medical importance according to World Health Organization (WHO).

Saunders company, 1995: 1080-2. Picchioni AL, Hardy DL, Russell FE, Kunkel DB. After the girl died in his arms, he vowed that she would be the last such victim. A 12-year-old girl who’d been bitten showed up at the Institute for Applied Biological Research, where he was working as an entomologist, and no one knew how to help her. Now, an antivenom shortage is spurring global experts to collaborate on treatment and prevention. An interstitial black color is visible only when the skin is stretched. Chippaux helped write the WHO’s snakebite strategy and contributed to the development of Inoserp.

The African bush viper like most other vipers is a nocturnal creature. That day, a Tuesday in December 2018, had begun like many others in Isolomo’s 30 years of fishing in the province of Équateur, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are now a number of reports of bites that have led to severe hemorrhaging of internal organs. Developing an antivenom that treats multiple species is especially difficult, which is why the loss of Fav-Afrique had health care providers so worried. Cellou, now a world-renowned lecturer on snakebites, began studying snake envenomation 25 years ago. Another 400,000 people survive with amputated limbs and other permanent disabilities. Atheris hispida is a venomous viper species endemic to Central Africa.It is known for its extremely keeled dorsal scales that give it a bristly appearance. The eye and the nasal are separated by 2 scales. The national formulary. Viper bites, which may take several days to kill, are more common because these snakes are ambush predators that sit motionless for hours, making it easy for people to step on them accidentally. Management of poisonous snakebite. [2] The body is covered with elongated, heavily keeled dorsal scales that give this animal a unique 'shaggy' idea to its skin, almost bristly appearance. The scales around the head and neck are the longest, decreasing posteriorly.

[11], A number of subspecies of A. squamigera may be encountered in literature. (2018).
A snake catcher at the Institute for Applied Biological Research, in Guinea, Camara lost his left index finger to amputation after he was bitten by a western green mamba.

There are 2 (rarely 1 or more than 2) rows of scales that separate the eyes from the labials.

That’s because about half of snakebites are dry, with no venom injected, says Eugene Erulu, a physician at Watamu Hospital, in southern Kenya. These include:[1][2][3], Furthermore, specimens from Dimonika and Menengue in Congo are sometimes treated as a separate species: A. laeviceps. Rare specimens may be found that are yellow, reddish or slate gray. There is no antivenom for this species of snake.

Because of its lethality, there is an antivenom available in some African hospitals. [6], They are found in tropical subsaharan Africa, excluding southern Africa. With Isolomo lying in the dugout, his companions paddled frantically back to their village of Iteli. There are 10 to 18 circumorbital scales. The gular scales are keeled. Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ), “Inoserp’s broad coverage of species means that you can use it even if you’re not sure which snake bit the victim,” Benjamin says. “There’s a huge lack of published data and research on this,” says Jordan Benjamin, founder of the U.S.-based Asclepius Snakebite Foundation, which provides supplies and training to African health centers.

“In several African countries, we came across antivenom designed to treat bites from Indian snakes,” says Jean-Philippe Chippaux, an expert in tropical diseases at the Paris-based French Research Institute for Development. Hogan DE, Dire DJ.

The ventral edge of the dorsum has light spots in pairs.

Although no specific antivenom is made for the genus Atheris, antivenom for the genus Echis has been shown to be partially effective in neutralizing Atheris venom.
Besides the neurotoxins, they also carry cytotoxins and fasciculins.

White RR IV, Weber RA. For example, “the puff adder’s venom can change from one area to another. The habitat of spiny bush vipers includes rainforests, woodlands, and swamps. No subspecies are currently recognized.

Cellou, 64, is a Guinean biologist and research director at the Institute for Applied Biological Research, in Kindia, Guinea, a disease research center with a snakebite clinic.

A 2016 study led by Chippaux showed that while properly treating a snakebite is expensive, lost worker productivity—from disability or death—can be even more costly.

In one case, males and females were kept separate from January to the end of November.

Another advantage: Unlike liquid antivenoms, which must be kept cold, Inoserp comes in a freeze-dried formulation.
