Summary Introduction
The endemic infectious disease is constantly found over long the periods of time, but it is usually occurs at only a low incidence in the population. The epidemics may be originate from a common source or host to host origin. In epidemiology, the basic reproduction is the typical number of secondary cases of an infectious disease arising from a characteristic case in a totally susceptible population and it is denoted by R0.
