Pathogen evolves to withstand cold temperatures and climates

Lower intracellular water volume prevents freezing. Increased effectiveness in cold climates

Pathogen becomes resistant to class 1 and 2 antivirals. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries

Pathogen develops resistance to class 3 and 4 antivirals. Increase effectiveness in wealthy countries

Pathogen develops hardened coating - becoming highly weather resistant and extremely comfortable in both hot and cold climates

Pathogen becomes harder to analyse in the lab. Decreases future research speed

The pathogen does not reproduce in lab conditions. Decreases future research speed

Pathogen DNA strands reassembled. More work needed to develop a cure

A new strain of the pathogen now exists, increasing the work needed to develop a cure

Multiple strains of the pathogen now exist, increasing the work needed to develop a cure

Pathogen evolves to withstand hot temperatures and climates

Pathogen avoids cellular breakdown in high temperatures. Increased effectiveness in hot climates

DNA becomes more unstable, increasing random mutations

DNA occasionally fractures, increasing random mutations

DNA becomes highly erratic and fragmented, increasing random mutations
