Solution

The correct term for a disease that comes back after a significant decline in incidence is reemerging.

Explanation:

  • Epidemic refers to a sudden increase in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in a specific area.
  • Pandemic is an epidemic that has spread over multiple countries or continents, affecting a large number of people.
  • Emerging diseases are those that are newly identified or have recently increased in incidence or geographical range.

Thus, when a disease that was previously under control resurfaces, it is specifically termed as "reemerging."
