Iran is grappling with a severe outbreak of dengue fever, with more than 40 cities now affected, according to the latest reports from the country’s Ministry of Health. The epidemic, attributed to the Aedes mosquito, has particularly hit the southern provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr, and Khuzestan, as well as northern provinces such as Gilan, with imminent threats to Mazandaran and Golestan.<\/p>\n
Shahnam Arshi,<\/a> the head of the Ministry’s Center for Infectious Disease Management, warned that the outbreak, driven by the Aedes aegypti species, could become “explosive.” Arshi also reported a resurgence of malaria in Iran, linked to the Anopheles mosquito, further complicating the public health crisis.<\/p>\n The symptoms of dengue fever, often referred to as “breakbone fever,” include high fever, severe headache, body pain, pain behind the eyes, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and skin rashes. These symptoms are causing significant concern among health officials, as the disease’s spread accelerates.<\/p>\n The regime’s Deputy Health Minister, Hossein Farshidi, stated<\/a> that the Aedes mosquito has been identified in five provinces: Hormozgan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Bushehr, Gilan, and Mazandaran. Farshidi noted that the mosquito strains in the north and south of Iran differ, with the southern variety being more aggressive and capable of causing more severe disease.<\/p>\n Farshidi highlighted that many dengue fever cases are linked to individuals arriving from countries like the United Arab Emirates, raising fears that the outbreak could surpass the dangers posed by the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>. He stressed that environmental factors play a crucial role in the transmission of dengue fever, and efforts to disrupt mosquito breeding could help control the disease.<\/p>\n Iran News in Brief \u2013 November 14, 2021 Labor Activists Detained for Peaceful Activities#HumanRights<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/2eliLelHhC<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) November 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
