  • Addressing the global snakebite crisis with geo-spatial analyses - Recent advances and future direction 
    Pintor, A.F.V.; Ray, N.; Longbottom, J.; Bravo-Vega, C.A.; Yousefi, M.; Murray, K.A.; Ediriweera, D.S.; Diggle, P.J. (Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
    ABSTRACT: Venomous snakebite is a neglected tropical disease that annually leads to hundreds of thousands of deaths or long-term physical and mental ailments across the developing world. Insufficient data on spatial variation ...
  • Adjusting for spatial variation when assessing individual-level risk: A case-study in the epidemiology of snake-bite in Sri Lanka 
    Ediriweera, D.S.; Kasturiratne, A.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Jayamanne, S.F.; Murray, K.; Iwamura, T.; Lalloo, D.G.; de Silva, H.J.; Diggle, P.J. (Public Library of Science, 2019)
    BACKGROUND:Health outcomes and causality are usually assessed with individual level sociodemographic variables. Studies that consider only individual-level variables can suffer from residual confounding. This can result ...
  • Development of a Snakebite risk map for Sri Lanka 
    Ediriweera, D.S.; Kasturiratne, A.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Wijayawickrama, B.A.; Jayamanne, S.F.; Isbister, G.K.; Dawson, A.; Giorgi, E.; Diggle, P.J.; Lalloo, D.G.; de Silva, H.J. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2016)
    INTRODUCTION: Snakebite is a public health problem in Sri Lanka and about 37,000 patients are treated in government hospitals annually. At present, health care resources which are required to manage snakebite are distributed ...
  • Evaluating spatiotemporal dynamics of snakebite in Sri Lanka: Monthly incidence mapping from a national representative survey sample 
    Ediriweera, D.S.; Kasturiratne, A.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Jayamanne, S.F.; Murray, K.; Iwamura, T.; Isbister, G.; Dawson, A.; Lalloo, D.G.; de Silva, H.J.; Diggle, P.J. (Public Library of Science, 2021)
    BACKGROUND: Snakebite incidence shows both spatial and temporal variation. However, no study has evaluated spatiotemporal patterns of snakebites across a country or region in detail. We used a nationally representative ...
  • Evaluating temporal patterns of snakebite in Sri Lanka: The potential for higher snakebite burdens with climate change 
    Ediriweera, D.S.; Diggle, P.J.; Kasturiratne, A.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Jayamanne, S.F.; Isbister, J.K.; Dawson, A.; Lalloo, D.G.; de Silva, H.J. (Sri Lanka Medical Association, 2018)
    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease that has been overlooked by healthcare decision makers in many countries. Previous studies have reported seasonal variation in hospital admission ...
  • Evaluating temporal patterns of snakebite in Sri Lanka: the potential for higher snakebite burdens with climate change 
    Ediriweera, D.S.; Diggle, P.J.; Kasturiratne, A.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Jayamanne, S.K.; Isbister, G.K.; Dawson, A.; Lalloo, D.G.; de Silva, H.J. (Oxford University Press, 2018)
    BACKGROUND: Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease that has been overlooked by healthcare decision makers in many countries. Previous studies have reported seasonal variation in hospital admission rates due to snakebites ...
  • Individual risk factors of snakebites in Sri Lankan community 
    Ediriweera, E.P.D.S.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Kasturiratne, A.; Gunawardana, N.K.; Jayamanne, S.F.; de Silva, H.J.; Diggle, P.J. (Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2015)
    Sri Lanka has 92 identified snake species, and one of the highest snakebite incidence (SBI) rates in the world. According to hospital statistics about 37,000 patients are admitted to government hospitals annually as a ...
  • Integrating snake distribution, abundance and expert-derived behavioural traits predicts snakebite risk 
    Martín, G.; Erinjery, J.; Gumbs, R.; Somaweera, R.; Ediriweera, D.; Diggle, P.J.; Kasturiratne, A.; de Silva, H.J.; Lalloo, D.G.; Iwamura, T.; Murray, K. A. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)
    Despite important implications for human health, distribution, abundance and behaviour of most medically-relevant snakes remain poorly understood. Such data deficiencies hamper efforts to characterise the causal pathways ...
  • Mapping the risk of snakebite in Sri Lanka - A national survey with geospatial analysis 
    Ediriweera, E.P.D.S.; Kasturiratne, A.; Pathmeswaran, A.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Wijayawickrama, B.A.; Jayamanne, S.F.; Isbister, G.K.; Dawson, A.; Giorgi, E.; Diggle, P.J.; Lalloo, D.G.; de Silva, H.J. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
    BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of robust epidemiological data on snakebite, and data available from hospitals and localized or time-limited surveys have major limitations. No study has investigated the incidence of snakebite ...
