Happy new year 2026 to all of you !
The year 2025 leaving me with imprints of three first-author research articles [doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd…; frontiersin.org/journals/amp…; doi.org/10.4269/ajtmh.24-039…] and peer-reviewing of 21 manuscripts submitted to 14 different Journals.
Analyzing first aid in textbooks used by students in Nepal (doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd…) showed persistent teaching of harmful snakebite first aid in this country. Therefore, urgent attention is needed for improving texts books containing first aid of snakebite.
Our recently published article highlights a valuable preliminary contribution to understanding the ecology and potential human-wildlife interface of the Wall's Krait (Bungarus walli) in Nepal.

Our NHRC-funded research work has been published (DOI: doi.org/10.4269/ajtmh.24-039…). It is my new domain of research in the field of health economics.
This is the most comprehensive study in Nepal yet to quantify the costs of snakebites and to know the impact of snakebite in Nepal.
My research is available on @ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication…

Ignorance kills. This incident is from Wardha. In an inebriated state, the person is handling the highly venomous Common krait assuming it is the non venomous rat snake. Needless to say, he lost his life the same night while being treated in the hospital.
