describes a disease that is always present in a certain population of people

Usually applied to a disease which is present in an area at all times. Endemic is really a medical term and the veterinary term is Enzootic.

a. (Gr. endemos, native, belonging to a people) a plant that is native to a particular country or region; not introduced or naturalized.

Plants and animals that occur naturally only in a specified area or locality.

prevalent in a particular field, area, or environment

An animal or plant species that naturally occurs in a confined area.

restricted to a certain geographical location -- often used to refer to a nutrient deficiency.

the condition in which a disease is present in a human community at all times.

Confined to a particular area, for example, a Tasmanian endemic species.

The constant presence of a disease or infectious agent within a given geographic area; it may also refer to the usual prevalence of a given disease within such area. Hyperendemic expresses a constant presence at a high level of incidence, and holoendemic a high level of prevalence with infections beginning early in life and affecting most of the population, e.g., malaria in some places. (See Zoonosis.)

Native to or restricted to a particular area, region or country.

Native to a specific country. Not adventive

a disease caused by the health conditions constantly present within a community. It usually describes an infection that is transmitted directly or indirectly between humans and is occurring at the usual expected rate.

describes an animal or plant species that naturally occurs in only one area or region. For example, the redfin darter is a fish endemic to the rivers of the Ozark forests and the Joshua tree is a plant endemic to the Mojave Desert.

native to a particular region or ecosystem

A disease that is always present in a particular locality.

Any localized process or pattern, but usually applied to a highly localized or restrictive geographic distribution of a species.

1. generally, present at all times. 2. of a disease of humans, always present within a geographical area or population. Compare epidemic.

Specific to (a region or country)

Occurring constantly in an area in small numbers, but allowing a switch to large numbers, at which time the population or species is said to be epidemic (adjective); the antonym of endemic. This is the original meaning of the word, dating from the year 1603, and it has been used constantly in this sense by epidemiologists and ecologists since then. Example: yellow fever is endemic (occurring constantly at low population levels but with sporadic epidemics) in South America although it is believed to be native to Africa. Endemic: A misinterpretation by zoogeographers to mean "native to an area and occurring nowhere else." This misinterpretation, although it dates only from 1872, so permeates the literature that it will be hard to eradicate although precinctive was suggested in 1900 as an appropriate alternative. Precinctive is the term preferred here. Endemic: A 20th century misinterpretation of the 19th century misinterpretation of the 17th century word endemic, as meaning native. Endemic: A late 20th century use in which species that occur constantly at low population levels are said to be endemic.

A species that is unique to an are...

In epidemiology, an infection is said to be endemic (from Greek en- in or within + demos people) in a population when that infection is maintained in the population without the need for external inputs. For example, chickenpox is endemic (steady state) in the UK, but malaria is not. Every year, there are a few cases of malaria acquired in the UK, but these do not lead to sustained transmission in the population due to the lack of a suitable vector (mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles).

In biology and ecology endemic means exclusively native to a place or biota, in contrast to cosmopolitan or introduced. However, it is also differentiated from indigenous: A species that is endemic is unique to a defined place or region (in other words only found in that place or region) and not naturally found anywhere else, whereas a species that is indigenous to somewhere may be native to other locations as well. Usually the term is applied to a discrete geographical unit, often an island or island group, but sometimes a country, habitat type, or other defined area or zone.
