Sort of...it's more like, virus - they evolve to target one type of cell, or rather, one type of species? That's why pets almost never get sick when their owners do. I mean, sometimes a virus mutates and are able to cross species, but that's not that common. And when it does happen, it's usually to a species that's similar to their original targets in some regard, like both of them are mammals or primates.
But this pathogen, it's able to infect a whole variety of species. Sometimes species that's never even set foot on the planet, or have naturally strong immunity to everything.
