No link between uranium and epidemic diseases.
Smallpox
Trichomoniasis is not an epidemic disease. It is endemic.
When you hear the word 'Epidemic' usually it's referring to a disease, but an epidemic isn't always a disease. Poverty, for example, could be considered an epidemic, and it is not a disease, unlike the Spanish Flu or Smallpox.
If someone has a infectious disease, and it spreads quickly, then that disease is considered epidemic.
He died from an epidemic that swept through the Greenland colonies. The exact disease that it was is unknown.
Epidemic is an outbreak of a disease in a particular area.
The epidemic was caused by smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly infectious disease. Smallpox is characterized by fever, rash, and the development of fluid-filled blisters on the skin. Vaccination campaigns were crucial in controlling and eventually eradicating smallpox globally.
Epidemic Disease
The disease was so widespread that it was now an epidemic.
An epidemic is a sudden outbreak of a disease (or metaphorically, something that is being compared to a disease, such as an epidemic of crime). A disease can also be described as endemic, which means that there is some incidence of that disease which is always present and doesn't go away.
If that disease is not contained and stopped, it could become an epidemic.
