Investigation of the dengue arbovirus in the cities of Bushehr Province through human blood sampling

Abstract 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. Rese...

description Abstract 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.
