Sažetak
Because it primarily affects the poor in undeveloped parts of the world where medical care is often inadequate and insufficient,
envenomation is considered a neglected public health issue, despite the existence of antivenom therapy for
more than a century. This article provides an overview of the epidemiological situation for important venomous animals, together
with achievements in the production, control, technological progress and safety of antivenoms since their discovery.
