Enzootic

Look up enzootic in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Enzootic describes the situation where a disease or pathogen is continuously present in at least one species of non-human animal in a particular region. It is the non-human equivalent of endemic.[1]

In epizoology, an infection is said to be "enzootic" in a population when the infection is maintained in the population without the need for external inputs (cf. endemic).
