The El Niño phenomenon, predicted to persist until February 2027, can create favorable conditions for the proliferation of mosquitoes, including Aedes aegypti, which transmits dengue. Experts warn that high temperatures and heavy rains can accelerate the mosquito's life cycle and increase the risk of dengue transmission. They advise starting prevention measures before summer, including eliminating standing water, monitoring rainfall and humidity, and maintaining entomological surveillance. The 2023-2024 season was the largest dengue epidemic recorded in Argentina, with over 500,000 cases. Specialists urge strengthening immunization and preventive measures against health risks associated with El Niño, such as dengue, leptospirosis, and respiratory infections.
