Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase studies that illustrate how collaboration between scientists from disparate fields (including, but not limited to, ecology, systematics, proteomics, genomics, clinical studies, social science and epidemiology) and non-scientists (including, but not limited to, field workers, health educators, NGOs, community health activists, policy makers and antivenom manufacturers) can lead to greater insights and progress towards reducing the global burden of snakebites than people working within their own separate fields. By doing so, we hope to encourage more kinds of these collaborations in the future.
