What is India?
This type of modeling was used to estimate venomous animal contact mortalities and examined trends in causes of death.
What is ensemble modeling?
The age-standardized rate of death for 2050 is expected to be higher than the deaths that occurred in 2019, what makes this number larger?
What are forecasted population increases?
These areas in the world face disproportionate rates of mortality for snakebites and other NTDs.
What are rural areas?
The limitations of this study are...
What are inaccurate population counts?
Following South Asia, this large geographical area has the second-highest mortality burden from snakebites.

What is low latitude?
These regions had the lowest age-standardized rate of death in 2019
