		The Russell’s viper (Daboia russellii) is nocturnal, lives in rocky areas with dense thickets (like agave and pandanus) interspersed with small open spaces, and feeds largely on gerbils (Tatera indica).
		Note: As pre-1990 PVS data classed all viper and pit viper bites together, relative percentages of Daboia, Echis and pit-viper bites from 1990-2000 were applied to the total number of viper bites for the 1964-2000 period (12,580).
		The large percentage of bites with envenoming attributed to Russell’s Vipers is explained by the presence of large areas of optimum habitat, and could imply a lower incidence of ‘dry’ bites by this long-fanged species.

		Aim of study To study the epidemiological pattern and the effects of envenomation by the hump nosed viper (hypnale hypnale) in children.

		Ian D. Simpson, head of the WHO Snakebite group, is credited with the collaborative discovery of the venomous hump nosed pit viper found in Tamil Nadu.
		He said greater research was needed to detect the other venomous snakes, the specific effects on the body of various venoms and the costs involved in providing anti-venom and treating the long-term effects of bites that were not attended to effectively.
		He said that while 60 of the 270 snakes in India were poisonous, the anti-venom currently available is a multi-species venom that counteracted the venom of the `big four', or the cobra, krait, Russell's viper and saw scaled viper.
