Snakebite envenomation constitutes to be a major public health problem in the most resource poor, tropical areas of the world, resulting in death or severe sequelae. Snakebites were officially included in the Neglected Tropical Disease portfolio of the World Health Organization in 2018, after the World Health Assembly acknowledged it as a Global Health problem. This study details the journey of snakebites from obscurity to its inclusion in Global Health agenda over the course of the twentieth and twenty first century and argues that the main thrust of the movement came from South-to-South partnerships between academic and public-private research institutions. It explores how Latin American countries, such as Costa Rica and Brazil, played crucial roles in promoting the international movement of snakebites, challenging the paradigm that scientific and pharmacological knowledge and objects only emerge from the Global North and flow to the Global South, and provides evidence of scientific excellence at the periphery.
