Abstract: (280 Views)
Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral illness, has recently become a growing concern in Iran. This short communication highlights the rising number of cases, potential risk factors, and proposed control strategies. This short communication highlights the urgent need for prioritized prevention and control measures for dengue fever, as indicated by data from Iran's Ministry of Health. This report reviews existing literature and public health data on dengue fever in Iran. As of January 2025, Iran has reported 1051 confirmed cases, with 843 lacking travel history to endemic regions, suggesting local transmission. Sistan and Baluchistan, Hormozgan, and Bushehr provinces are most affected, with potential for spread to neighboring areas. Factors contributing to this rise include climate change, increased international travel, and weaknesses in disease surveillance and control. Dengue fever poses a serious threat to public health in Iran. Prompt implementation of comprehensive prevention and control strategies is vital to prevent further spread and mitigate its health and societal consequences.
