Enzootic vs Epizootic?

Andrea Saez  Follow

Enzootic and epizootic are analogous to endemic and epidemic, respectively.

Enzootic means something that affects a population of non-human animals in a limited spatio-temporal region whereas epizootic is relatively more widespread.

Endemic and epidemic are more general terms and do not, technically, apply to only humans.
