The rapid spread of an infectious disease (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epidemic

(Other definitions for epidemic that I've seen before include "medical emergency" , "Outbreak of disease which spreads rapidly" , "eruption" , "lot of disease" , "Citrus fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
