Occurring continuously.A disease or condition persistently found in a given population or geographical area.(When used with ‘to’) restricted to, unique to, not naturally found elsewhere (e.g. “endemic to Mt Hanang” means occurring only on Mt Hanang and nowhere else). The term is meaningless unless a native area or habitat is specified.Confined to a limited geographic or ecologic niche.Restricted in occurrence to a particular geographical area.Term used to describe a disease that is native to a particular area or population. Compare with epidemic.Condition in which a disease is prevalent in a particular geographic area or in a population.A plant originating in and restricted to a certain region.Occuring only in, restricted to or unique to a certain area.Only native to one country or area.A large number of cases of a disease that is usually found in a given population.Referring to any disease which is very common in specific places.Confined in the wild to one clearly delimited geographical region or state—thus the genus Carpenteria is endemic to California (or is a Californian endemic).Present in a community or population, as in diseases that are localized to a particular group of people.Indigenous (native) to a given population or area; occurring frequently in a given group or community, especially pert, to a disease.A disease or condition persistently found in a given population or geographical area. An example of a typical endemic disease is the common cold, which affects a portion of the total population each year.Occurring frequently in a particular region or population: applied to diseases that are generally or constantly found among people in a particular area. Compare epidemic, epidemic, pandemic.A term applied to diseases which exist in particular localities or among certain races. Some diseases, which are at times epidemic over wide districts, have a restricted area where they are always endemic, and from which they spread. For example, both cholera and plague are endemic in certain parts of Asia.Found in a specific population or particular region of the world. The term is usually used to refer to a disease that occurs continuously or with a stable baseline incidence within a locale or a group of people.Within the realm of epidemiology, there exists a phenomenon characterized by the confinement or peculiarity to a particular geographic area or region. This unique circumstance primarily manifests in the form of a disease that is predominantly prevalent within specific populations, accentuating its localized nature.The term 'endemic' refers to a disease or disorder that is persistently found in a particular geographical area or among a specific group of people. For instance, AIDS has become endemic in central Africa. An endemic disease is distinct from an epidemic, which is not consistently present but sporadically impacts a substantial group of people.Relating to a disease that is consistently present in a specific region, as opposed to an epidemic, which suggests a sudden and explosive outbreak of a disease.
