infectious disease endemicity
Alexander Diehl
A particular instance of infectious disease endemicity will depend on a type of infectious agent and a population. The population may be specified by temporal, geographic, or demographic constraints. Infectious diseases that are typical or common to a particular population are referred to as endemic.
A quality that inheres in an organism population in virtue of the fact that infections of the type that causes an infectious disease are maintained in the population via intra-population transmission or by transmission from a local reservoir.
