Abahanga mu bya siyansi bo muri Amerika bavumbuye ko inzoka zo mu butaka zishobora gutanga toni miliyoni 140 z'ibiribwa ku isi buri mwaka, harimo 6.5% by'ibinyampeke na 2.3% by'ibinyamisogwe. Abashakashatsi bemeza ko ishoramari muri politiki n'ibikorwa by'ubuhinzi bishyigikira ubwinshi bw'inzoka zo mu butaka n'ubusumbane bw'ubutaka muri rusange ari ingenzi cyane kugira ngo intego z'ubuhinzi zigerweho mu buryo burambye.
Inyoni zo mu butaka ni ingenzi mu kubaka ubutaka bwiza kandi zishyigikira imikurire y’ibimera mu bintu byinshi, nko kugira ingaruka ku miterere y’ubutaka, kubona amazi, kuzenguruka kw’ibintu bikomoka ku bimera, no kuboneka kw’intungamubiri. Inyoni zo mu butaka zishobora kandi gutuma ibimera bitanga imisemburo itera imikurire, bikabifasha kurwanya indwara zisanzwe zo mu butaka. Ariko uruhare rwazo mu musaruro w’ubuhinzi ku isi ntiruramenyekana.
Kugira ngo basuzume ingaruka z'inzoka zo mu butaka ku musaruro w'ibihingwa by'ingenzi ku isi, Steven Fonte na bagenzi be bo muri Kaminuza ya Leta ya Colorado basesenguye amakarita agaragaza ubwinshi bw'inzoka zo mu butaka, imiterere y'ubutaka, n'umusaruro w'ibihingwa bahereye ku makuru yabanje. Basanze inzoka zo mu butaka zigira hafi 6.5% by'umusaruro w'ibinyampeke ku isi (harimo ibigori, umuceri, ingano, na sayiri), na 2.3% by'umusaruro w'ibinyampeke (harimo soya, amashaza, ubunyobwa, lentil, na alfalfa), bingana na toni zirenga miliyoni 140 z'ibinyampeke buri mwaka. Umusaruro w'inzoka zo mu butaka uri hejuru cyane mu majyepfo y'isi, 10% mu musaruro w'ibinyampeke muri Afurika yo munsi y'ubutayu bwa Sahara na 8% muri Amerika y'Epfo na Karayibe.
Ibi byavumbuwe ni bimwe mu byagerageje bwa mbere gupima uruhare rw'ibinyabuzima by'ingirakamaro mu butaka mu musaruro w'ubuhinzi ku isi. Nubwo ibi byavumbuwe bishingiye ku isesengura rya database nyinshi zo mu majyaruguru y'isi, abashakashatsi bizera ko inzoka zo mu butaka ari ingenzi mu guteza imbere umusaruro w'ibiribwa ku isi. Abantu bakeneye gukora ubushakashatsi no guteza imbere uburyo bwo gucunga ubuhinzi bushingiye ku bidukikije, kongera imbaraga mu buhinzi bwose, harimo n'inzoka zo mu butaka, kugira ngo bashyigikire serivisi zitandukanye z'urusobe rw'ibinyabuzima ziteza imbere ibidukikije mu gihe kirekire no guhangana n'imihindagurikire y'ibihe mu buhinzi.
