When a disease is endemic to a country or region, it frequently infects the population.

An endemic disease is a disease that is always present or occurs regularly in a certain population or area. Malaria is an example of an endemic disease which frequently infects the population in large areas of Africa and some areas of South America. Hepatitis B (HBV) is also considered to be endemic throughout the world.
