In the context of disease transmission, a reservoir is a place where a pathogen can live and multiply, such as an animal or environment. A vector is an organism that can carry and transmit the pathogen from the reservoir to a host. The relationship between a reservoir and a vector is that the reservoir provides a source of the pathogen, while the vector helps spread the pathogen to new hosts, contributing to the transmission of the disease.
The natural habitat of a pathogen is referred to as its RESERVOIR.
A pathogen can enter a new reservoir through various routes, such as direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated food or water. Once in the new reservoir, the pathogen may adapt to the new host species and establish infection cycles within that population.

The chain of infection consists of five key elements: the infectious agent (pathogen), the reservoir (where the pathogen lives), the portal of exit (how the pathogen leaves the reservoir), the mode of transmission (how it spreads to a new host), and the portal of entry (how it enters a new host). Each element must be present for an infection to occur, and breaking any link in the chain can help prevent the spread of disease.
A pathogen is a disease carrying organism.
A pathogen is something that causes disease, like a bacteria, virus, fungus or prion for example.
Pathogen is the agent or the culprit that causes a disease while the disease is the end result of what a pathogen did. Example: HIV virus is the pathogen while AIDS is the disease state that can result from high HIV viral load.

Fungi from aspergillus genus. Aspergillus niger for example.
