Detailed explanation-1: -What does Endemic mean? A disease outbreak is endemic when it is consistently present but limited to a particular region. This makes the disease spread and rates predictable. Malaria, for example, is considered endemic in certain countries and regions.

Detailed explanation-2: -An endemic disease is a disease that is always present in a particular population or region. Every year, the amount of endemic disease is considered a “baseline” of what is expected to persist indefinitely. 1 Some of the most recognized endemic diseases include the flu, malaria, HIV, and syphilis .

Detailed explanation-3: -An epidemic is a disease which spreads rapidly, affecting a large number of people within a community, population or region. An epidemic is usually clinically more severe than an endemic disease. Example: The Ebola epidemic in West Africa from 2014–2016.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. For example, chickenpox is endemic (steady state) in the United Kingdom, but malaria is not.
