Visual Detection and Avoidance of Pathogenic Bacteria by Aphids [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Aphids are diverse sap-sucking insects [1] that can be serious agricultural pests and vectors of plant disease [2]. Some species, including pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum), are susceptible to infection by epiphytic bacteria that are commonly found on plant surfaces [3-5].

Dissection of a sensorimotor circuit underlying pathogen aversion in C. elegans
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Altering animal behavior to reduce pathogen exposure is a key line of defense against pathogen attack. In Caenorhabditis elegans, alterations in intestinal physiology caused by pathogen colonization and sensation of microbial metabolites may ...

Intestinal infection regulates behavior and learning via neuroendocrine signaling
eLife, 2019 The recognition of pathogens and subsequent activation of defense responses are critical for the survival of organisms. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans recognizes pathogenic bacteria and elicits defense responses by activating immune pathways and ...

Infection detection in faces: Children's development of pathogen avoidance
Child Development, 2023 Abstract This study examined the development of children's avoidance and recognition of sickness using face photos from people with natural, acute, contagious illness. In a U.S. sample of fifty-seven 4- to 5-year-olds (46% male, 70% White), fifty-two 8- to 9-year-olds (26% male, 62% White), and 51 adults (59% male, 61% White ...
