[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Invasive pathogens are non-native species comprised of bacteria or other organisms that cause disease in plants and animals. Some fungi also fit into this category. Transmission of these agents often occurs through direct transmission, though a few like Beech Leaf Disease (BLD) happens as a result of the feeding of an invasive organism. They can be very persistent, often remaining within the soil, water, and elsewhere (e.g., host organisms) for many years. For some of these, there is no cure for the disease once an organism has been infected.<\/p>\n
