  abstract = {{T}here is no reliable estimate of burden of snakebite-envenoming ({SBE}) in {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica ({SSA}). {W}e derived from a meta-analysis the burden of {SBE} related deaths, amputations and {P}ost-{T}raumatic {S}tress {D}isorder ({PTSD}) in 41 countries in {SSA}. {T}he annual burden was estimated at 1.03 million {DALY}s (95% {C}onfidence {I}nterval: 0.80-1.28 million {DALY}s). {T}his is similar to or higher than the burden of many {N}eglected {T}ropical {D}iseases ({NTD}s) and the finding advocates for a commensurate resources allocation towards control of {SBE}.},
