Abstract

Authors describe the taxonomic composition of snake population in some plantations of Ivory Coast. In these areas, hazards of snake bites has been studied. They show that in extensive farming ecological conditions are strongly changed inducing modifications into the snake populations. In rustic farming area ecological conditions do not change with those of the brush or village surrounding. Snake bites in some extensive farming are ten times more frequent than in village or rustic plantations around them. This is linked to the snakes and farmers densities which are different in each plantation. Lethal effect is weak as in envenomations declared during any other activities.
