Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus and spread mainly by Aedes mosquitoes, is a significant public health concern in tropical regions. Bushehr Province in southern Iran, with its conducive climate for mosquito breeding, shows limited data on dengue incidence, prompting this study. Researchers conducted a study across ten cities in Bushehr, collecting blood samples from 180 participants to detect dengue-specific antibodies through ELISA testing. Results revealed an incidence rate of 2.78%, with positive cases found in Bushehr, Dashtestan, and Tangestan, indicating localized transmission. These findings highlight the risk of dengue outbreaks and emphasize the need for ongoing surveillance, vector control, and public education. Further research is needed to enhance understanding and inform health policies.
登革热由登革病毒引起,主要通过伊蚊传播,是热带地区一个重大的公共卫生问题。伊朗南部的布什尔省气候适宜蚊子繁殖,但该省登革热发病率的数据有限,因此开展了本研究。研究人员在布什尔省的十个城市进行了一项研究,从180名参与者身上采集血样,通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测来检测登革热特异性抗体。结果显示发病率为2.78%,在布什尔、达什特斯坦和坦盖斯坦发现了阳性病例,表明存在局部传播。这些发现凸显了登革热爆发的风险,并强调了持续监测、病媒控制和公众教育的必要性。需要进一步开展研究以加深了解并为卫生政策提供依据。
