“…Relationships between spatial snakebite variation and human population density are more complex: usually snakebites increase with human population density in rural areas but drop off at higher densities associated with urbanization ( Chippaux, 2017 ; Ediriweera et al, 2016 ). As expected, snakebite incidence also correlates with measures of presence, activity, abundance, or diversity of snakes ( Bravo-Vega et al, 2019 ; Goldstein et al, 2021 ; Hansson et al, 2013 ; León-Núñez et al, 2020 ; Schneider et al, 2021 ; Suraweera et al, 2020 ; Yañez-Arenas et al, 2014 , 2016 ) or with variables that affect snake activity. Often snakebite incidence increases during certain seasons when snakes and farmers are both more active such as in rainy or harvest seasons ( Chippaux, 2017 ; Ediriweera et al, 2018 ; Goldstein et al, 2021 ; Hansson et al, 2010 ; Mohapatra et al, 2011 ; Molesworth et al, 2003 ; Patiño-Barbosa et al, 2019 ; Suraweera et al, 2020 ), during flooding events ( Ochoa et al, 2020 ), or at higher temperatures, lower altitudes, and higher precipitation ( Angarita-Gerlein et al, 2017 ; Chaves et al, 2015 ; Chippaux, 2017 ; Ediriweera et al, 2018 ; Ediriweera et al, 2016 ; Goldstein et al, 2021 ; Hansson et al, 2013 ; Schneider et al, 2021 ; Suraweera et al, 2020 , Table 2 ).…”
