Anti-venoms are purified antibodies used to stop snake venom from binding to tissues and causing severe allergic reactions, blood-clotting, muscle injury, or nervous system problems. They can prevent or reverse the snakebite envenoming effects, which help minimize mortality and morbidity. They are obtained from different animal species, such as snakes, funnel web spiders, stonefish, redback spiders, and box jellyfish, using different technologies. Presently, the type of anti-venom generally used depends on the history and examination of the patient and geographic, clinical, and pathologic factors.
The risk of snakebite envenoming is a public health hazard that people, especially in the rural areas, experience on a regular basis. It causes occupational injury among several agricultural workers and hunters, which represents one of the key factors driving the need for safe, effective, and affordable anti-venoms. In addition, open-plan housing and the practice of sleeping on the floor, common in tropical regions, can expose people to bites from nocturnal and highly venomous snakes and cause serious health problems. These health problems usually include kidney failure, severe paralysis that prevents breathing, bleeding disorders that can lead to fatal hemorrhage, and severe local tissue destruction that can cause permanent disability and result in limb amputation. This, in turn, is catalyzing the demand for anti-venoms across the globe. Apart from this, there is an introduction of snake venom detection kits with a rapid enzyme immunoassay for in vitro detection and immunological identification of snake venom in samples from bite sites, urine, plasma, blood, or other tissues and body fluids. This is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities to industry players and drive the overall market.
