We study the threshold θ contact process on ℤd with infection parameter λ. We show that the critical point λc, defined as the threshold for survival starting from every site occupied, vanishes as d→∞. This implies that the threshold θ voter model on ℤd has a nondegenerate extremal invariant measure, when d is large.
