• MortalityCompared with: Prevalence describes existing cases, while mortality records deaths during a period.

• False negativeRelated: Prevalence affects how often negative results include false negatives and how reassuring they are.

• EpidemicRelated: Prevalence describes the burden of disease, complementing the new-case counts used to track spread.

• Veterinary epidemiologyRelated: Shows the burden of disease among animals at a defined time.

• Parasite ecologyRelated: Prevalence is a basic measure of parasite occurrence across host populations.
