And that’s because diseases evolve in ecosystems with hosts, where microbes adapt to exploit living organisms. Mars doesn’t really have an ecosystem like we do. I mean, it’s not as complex as ours, which means there hasn’t been an environment to drive the evolution of infectious agents. Know what I mean?

What’d you say your major in undergrad was again, CG? I figured you’d reply and eat this thread up Lol.
So basically, earth itself is a living planet because it seems like everything is tied together. That’s how your post reads. Let’s say for the sake of argument that Mars had viruses like we do here on earth, and we colonized that planet, what do you think would happen to us without a vaccine or not knowing what we’re up against? You raise some scientifically interesting points, so I’m just curious.
