A limited number of information exists relative to venom of Bothrops marajoensis. As far as I can see there is none information on the clinical syndrome caused by B. marajoensis accidents in victims. Also, I did not find epidemiological data about the species. Who can help?.
Have you searched in the new book by Fry?
Fry, B. G. 2015. Venomous Reptiles and Their Toxins: Evolution, Pathophysiology and Biodiscovery. Oxford University Press, Oxford, United Kingdom.

I do not know of any clinical or epidemiological study on B. marajoensis envenoming. Perhaps yu should contact Dr Pedro Pardal, from Pará, who has extensive experience on treating snakebites.
Good luck,

Hi Alice,
You could ask for Maria Cristina Dos Santos at the Federal University of Amazon, she may have some information.

Here's a case report:
de Oliveira Pardal, P. P., da Silva Pinheiro, A. C. J., Silva, C. T. C., Santos, P. R. S. G., & da Costa Gadelha, M. A. (2015). Hemorrhagic stroke in children caused by Bothrops marajoensis envenoming: a case report. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 21(1), 1.
And some epidemiology:
