Hyperendemic and Holoendemic


Hyperendemic : 
         It expresses that the disease is constantly present at high incidence and/ or prevalence rate and effects all age groups equally.

Holoendemic : 
        It expresses a high level of infection beginning early in life and effecting most of the child population, leading to a state of equilibrium such that the adult population shows evidence of the disease much less commonly than do the children.
