Hyperendemic

In epidemiology, the term hyperendemic disease is used to refer to a disease which is constantly and persistently present in a population at a high rate of incidence and/or prevalence (occurrence) and which equally affects (i.e. which is equally endemic in) all age groups of that population.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] It is one of the various degrees of endemicity (i.e. degrees of transmission of an infectious disease).
