Endemism in historical biogeography and conservation biology: concepts and implications
Biogeographia, 2017 Endemism is often misinterpreted as referring to narrow distributions (range restriction). In fact, a taxon is said to be endemic to an area if it lives there and nowhere else.

Plants, 2023 The Mediterranean islands are exceptionally rich in endemism, most of which is narrowly distributed. Conservation measures, such as protected areas, have been prioritised, mainly on the basis of species richness and endemism, but phylogenetic information

Childhood leprosy in an endemic area
Leprosy Review, 1999 A study was done on 794 new cases of leprosy among children (aged 0-14 years) detected and treated with MDT during 1990-1995 in Gudiyatham Taluk, South India. Incidence rates of leprosy and proportion of multibacillary cases increased with age, while bacillary + tuberculoid was most common.

Tuberculosis and atopy: A study in an endemic area [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine, 2006 Atopy is expected to be less frequent and milder in patients with early exposure to bacterial infections because of regulatory immune mechanisms. The definition of the hygiene hypothesis and most of the related studies have been performed in children.

The evolution of paleo- and neo-endemic species of Cactaceae in the isolated Valley of Tehuacán-Cuicatlán, Mexico [PDF]
Plant Ecology and EvolutionBackground and aims – Endemism may be defined according to the time of origin of taxa. Neo-endemics refer to relatively recent species that have not dispersed outside their ancestral areas. In contrast, paleo-endemics refer to species of ancient origins,

Psittacosis in a highly endemic area in Italy [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 1987 SUMMARYIn one locality in Italy where the incidence of psittacosis has increased rapidly since 1980, a hospital-based study and a seroepidemiological survey were carried out in order to define the clinical and epidemiological features of psittacosis in that area.Registers of the Virology Unit of the University of Ancona, Italy, were reviewed and all ...
