Human Pathogen Avoidance Adaptations
Current Opinion in Psychology, 2016 Over the past few decades, researchers have become increasingly interested in the adaptations guiding the avoidance of disease-causing organisms. Here we discuss the latest developments in this area, including a recently developed information-processing ...

Pathogen-Avoidance Mechanisms and the Stigmatization of Obese People [PDF]
Evolution and Human Behavior, 2007 Humans possess pathogen-avoidance mechanisms that respond to the visual perception of morphological anomalies in others. We investigated whether obesity may trigger these mechanisms.

Evolution of Pathogen and Parasite Avoidance Behaviours [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 All free-living animals are subject to intense selection pressure from parasites and pathogens resulting in behavioural adaptations that can help potential hosts to avoid falling prey to parasites. This special issue on the evolution of parasite avoidance behaviour was compiled following a Royal Society meeting in 2017.

Is the Relationship Between Pathogen Avoidance and Ideological Conservatism Explained by Sexual Strategies? [PDF]
Evolution and Human Behavior, 2015 Multiple recent studies report that measures of pathogen avoidance (e.g., disgust sensitivity) correlate with political ideology. This relationship has been interpreted as suggesting that certain political views (specifically, those views that are ...

Behavioral avoidance of pathogenic bacteria by Caenorhabditis elegans
Trends in Immunology, 2014The simple animal host Caenorhabditis elegans utilizes its nervous system to respond to diverse microbial cues, and can engage in a protective behavioral avoidance response to environmental pathogens. This behavior bears hallmarks of an immune response, with sensors and recognition systems that trigger a protective response following a learning ...

Immune Avoidance by Pathogenic Neisseria
1993The pathogenic Neisseria species comprise the gonococcus and the meningococcus, the causative agents of gonorrhoea and meningococcal meningitis respectively. Despite the great difference in the type of infection caused, the close genetic relationship between the two species results in similar antigenic structure, and mechanisms of pathogenesis ...

Estrogenic involvement in social learning, social recognition and pathogen avoidance
Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 2012Sociality comes with specific cognitive skills that allow the proper processing of information about others (social recognition), as well as of information originating from others (social learning). Because sociality and social interactions can also facilitate the spread of infection among individuals the ability to recognize and avoid pathogen threat ...

Selenoprotein T is required for pathogenic bacteria avoidance in Caenorhabditis elegans
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2017Selenoprotein T (SELENOT) is an endoplasmatic reticulum (ER)-associated redoxin that contains the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec, U) within a CXXU motif within a thioredoxin-like fold. Its precise function in multicellular organisms is not completely understood although it has been shown in mammals to be involved in Ca2+ homeostasis, antioxidant and ...

Disentangling genetic variance for pathogen avoidance and resistance
Abstract Hosts can use avoidance (e.g., behavior) to reduce their contact rates with pathogens; after contact, they can use resistance (e.g., immunity) to reduce the establishment and proliferation of an infection. Because both defenses preserve host fitness and reduce pathogen fitness, we expect that their epidemiological and ...Caroline R. Amoroso, Janis Antonovics
