Host Contact
At the end of one generation, pathogen propagules will be released back into the environment
The new pathogen generation begins when these propagules contact a new host

Reproduction in host
After host penetration, pathogens must reproduce to be successful
Some pathogens kill hosts and then reproduce (nematodes)
Others reproduce in living hosts (virus, fungi)

Exiting the host
After reproducing, most pathogens (except vertically transmitted species) must physically leave the host, enter the environment, disperse and find new hosts
Mechanisms for exit, dispersal and persistence outside of the host are critical in pathogen success
