PATHOGEN SELECTION PRESSURES. “ The ecosystems within which pathogens evolve are defined by their abiotic and biotic dimensions, including both host and vector populations. Pathogens must adapt to selective pressures associated with these complex ecosystems, in particular to both host and vector defense mechanisms as well as to any environmental fluctuations impacting on their survival and/or dispersal outside of hosts or vectors.”
