Abstract
In 2025, tropical medicine was shaped by advances in diagnostic technology, expanding arboviral epidemics, rapid progress in filovirus vaccine development, evolving regulatory responses to newly licensed vaccines, and translational breakthroughs addressing neglected tropical diseases. This review discusses five select developments that significantly influenced clinical practice and global health policy over the past year, highlighting the implications of each for clinicians, researchers, and public health systems.
