The World Health Organization estimates that 1.8 million to 2.7 million people are envenomed by snakes annually, resulting in upwards of 138,000 deaths. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, snakebite annually kills between 20,000 and 32,000 people, though a 2022 paper suggests this is likely a gross underestimate. Africa is home to some of the most amazing and beautiful, but also dangerous, snakes on the planet. Tiny saw-scaled vipers cause potentially lethal bleeding problems.

Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-32174-7, published online 04 August 2022In the original version of this Article, the Acknowledgements section incorrectly omitted two of the funding sources. A sentence ‘CU was supported by grants G0C1319N and G087921N from FWO-Vlaanderen.’ has been now added. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
