"When the number of individuals a disease affects increases dramatically, it is said to have become an epidemic. A more precise term when speaking of plants, however, is epiphytotic; for animals, the corresponding term is epizootic. Epidemic is sometimes found, but technically applies only to people" (IATE) |
