We evaluate the dangerousness of 104 species of snakes, based on published and own information on their dentition (Solenoglifa, Opistoglifa, Aglifa with or without enlarged enlarged teeth teeth), presence of Duvernoy or poison gland and aggressiveness, based on the analysis of over 13,000 specimens. Distribution of the most dangerous snakes (Elapidae Viperidae and) based on 5,350 specimens studied is presented and aspects of natural history (diet, habitat, activity) that are relevant to snakebite prevention strategies are analyzed. / Analizamos la diversidad e historia natural de las serpientes con interés sanitario del nordeste argentino, la región con mayor concentración de accidentes ofídicos en Argentina. Evaluamos la peligrosidad de 104 especies de serpientes, basándonos en información publicada y propia sobre su dentición (Solenoglifa, Opistoglifa, Aglifa con dientes agrandados o sin dientes agrandados), presencia de glándula de Duvernoy o venenosa y agresividad, basado en el análisis de más 13.000 especimenes. Se presenta la distribución de las serpientes más peligrosas (Viperidae y Elapidae) sobre la base de 5.350 ejemplares estudiados y se analizan aspectos de la historia natural (dieta, hábitat, actividad) que son relevantes para estrategias de prevención de ofidismo.
