Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Tehran

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Tehran. Key contributors include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns, especially during spring
Urban water sources like the Darband streams and irrigation canals
Temperature fluctuations in the Alborz mountain foothills

Mosquitoes thrive in stagnant water, so the city’s irrigation systems and garden ponds can become breeding grounds. Understanding these factors helps locals and travelers anticipate mosquito activity. Learn more about Tehran’s climate impact on insects at the Tehran Environmental Protection Agency.

Mosquito-Borne Diseases to Watch Out for in Tehran

While Tehran is not a hotspot for many tropical mosquito-borne illnesses, vigilance is still necessary. Diseases such as West Nile virus have been reported occasionally, transmitted by local Culex mosquitoes. Dengue and malaria are rare in Tehran but present in some southern provinces, so travelers should remain cautious. Preventive measures include using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing, especially near green spaces like Laleh Park. For detailed health advisories, visit the Iran Ministry of Health.
