Big Four (Indian snakes)
The four venomous snake species responsible for causing the greatest number of medically significant human snake bite cases on the Indian subcontinent (majorly in India and Sri Lanka) are sometimes collectively referred to as the Big Four. They cause 46,000–60,000 deaths each year. The snakes are: Russell's viper, Daboia russelii Common krait, Bungarus caeruleus Indian cobra, Naja naja Indian saw-scaled viper, Echis carinatus According to a 2020 study that did a comprehensive analysis of snake bites in India, Russell's viper accounted for 43% of the snakebites in India, followed by kraits (18%), cobras (12%), hump nosed viper (4%), saw-scaled viper (1.7%), and water snake (0.3%). The rest (21%) were of unidentified species.
