Question

An endemic disease is best described as a disease that __________.

a. rarely affects a specific place or group of people
b. is characteristic of a specific place or group of people
c. completely destroys a specific place or group of people
d. has been eradicated from a specific place or group of people

Answer 1

b. is characteristic of a specific place or group of people

Step-by-step explanation:

Endemic disease is a term used to describe a disease that acts as a characteristic of a specific geographic location or environment and the population that occupies that region. For a disease to be considered endemic, it doesn't mean that there are a lot of cases present in the population, but it is a constant disease in that specific location. For example, Malaria is a constant disease in the Africa continent.

Answer 2

An endemic disease is best described as a disease that "b. is characteristic of a specific place or group of people" since these types of diseases usually have to do with genetics and/or environment.
