The term for such a situation is an epidemic or pandemic, with the latter term used to indicate an epidemic that has spread across one or more continents, or even the whole world (a global pandemic).

Examples of recent or ongoing pandemics include the worldwide spread of AIDS, and even the H1N1 flu virus of 2009.
