Abstract

Snakebites are a significant health issue, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Envenomation from snakebites is a clinical emergency requiring prompt treatment. Recently, a new species of blunt-nosed viper, Macrovipera razii, was identified in central and southern Iran through morphological and molecular studies. This large, dangerous viper can deliver substantial amounts of venom. Following reports to the Faculty of Health at Shiraz University of Medical Science (SUMS), the identification of venomous snakes involved in envenomation cases in Fars province was undertaken. Approximately 20 snakes were captured and presented by locals, while others provided photos. Despite some information being photo-based, the data highlighted the significant role of this viper in envenomation cases. Macrovipera razii is now recorded from 12 counties in Fars province. One incident involved a male bitten in Shiraz, and another case led to a male needing limb amputation. This study emphasizes the importance of this newly described viper in recent snakebite envenomations in the region and reviews its distribution within the Fars province.

蛇咬伤是一个重大的健康问题,尤其是在热带和亚热带地区。被蛇咬伤引起的感染是一种临床急症,需要及时治疗。最近,通过形态学和分子研究,在伊朗中部和南部发现了一种新的钝鼻蝰--Macrovipera razii。这种危险的大型蝰蛇可以释放大量毒液。在向设拉子医科大学(Shiraz University of Medical Science,SUMS)卫生学院报告后,对法尔斯省中毒病例中涉及的毒蛇进行了鉴定。当地人捕获并展示了约 20 条蛇,其他人则提供了照片。尽管有些信息是以照片为基础的,但数据强调了这种毒蛇在毒液中毒事件中的重要作用。法尔斯省目前有 12 个县记录到 Macrovipera razii。在设拉子发生的一起中毒事件中,一名男性被咬伤,另一起中毒事件导致一名男性需要截肢。这项研究强调了这种新描述的毒蛇在该地区最近发生的蛇咬伤中毒事件中的重要性,并回顾了它在法尔斯省的分布情况。
