Phylogenetic Host Specificity

Phylogenetic Host Specificity is a theoretical construct in parasitology and evolutionary biology that defines the degree to which a parasite or pathogen is restricted to infecting host species within a specific phylogenetic lineage, distinguished from other forms of host specificity by emphasizing evolutionary relatedness among susceptible hosts rather than ecological or physiological traits.
