Endemic (epidemiology) - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In epidemiology, an infection is said to be endemic in a population when that infection is not spread quickly or not a lot of people are infected for it to become a pandemic.[1] For example, chickenpox is endemic (steady state) in the United Kingdom, but malaria is not.
