Numerous pathogens need living hosts to survive and reproduce. These pathogens such as viruses, viroids, bacteria, insects, and nematodes continue their life cycle by causing significant damage to the pepper plant. Following the infection of their hosts, they make use of the host for their purposes by modifying host cells both molecularly, genetically, and morphologically. These pathogens can affect the plant metabolism with single, double, and multiple damage and associations. Multiple concomitant infections are very detrimental to the host plant. During the pathogen infection, metabolic, genetic, and morphological activities are altered. However, detailed information about this aspect has not been well understood. Therefore, this chapter focuses on understanding multiple/single relationships between pathogens and hosts on molecular, genetic, and morphologic modifications.
