Introduction

Tropical medicine is the study, prevention and treatment of those afflictions which are endemic to or particularly affect people within the tropics and subtropics. Many of these diseases have been eradicated in more developed nations outside the tropics. Examples of notable tropical diseases include ebola, malaria and hookworm.
