agree  MatthewLaSon: YES! I've seen "evolutive origin" as well. I think "foci" is more formal way of putting it

evolutive nature


Explanation:
Hello

foyer is the "source" or "origin", which would be the "nature" of the disease/problem in English

Good luck!

It's used sporadically in a few documents written originally in English. Sue, you are right about the reliability of those abstracts. But, it could turn out that they have used a correct translation--from time to time

I've would like to now suggest: evolutive origin

Please disregard "evolutive nature". That is not correct

neutral  Dr Sue Levy (X): as a rule, the PubMed abstracts are probably the most unreliable source of translation on the internet!//I'm sorry my dear but an article written by French authors on a Spanish site will not convince me!
