Incidence rate of snake bites in Ardabil province is 3-5 in one hundred thousand. This study was designed for determine of snakebite Status in Ardabil province and Identify of high and low risk areas for education, management, prevention and control.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted and all cases of snake bites that occurred from 1390 to 1394 and were referred to health centers and hospitals by maintaining ethical considerations were analyzed. Distribution snakebite maps were prepared for ArcMap GIS version 10.2 and IDW interpolation.
Results: Total of 228 cases of snake bites had occurred in the Ardabil province that 74 % were in rural area and 26 % in urban area. The highest cases were in Parsabad county (29.4 %) and the lowest in Kowsar (0.45 %). Snake bites reported from 105 regions and the results of IDW interpolation showed that three regions were high risk in Ardabil province.
