Peptidergic Signaling Controls the Dynamics of Sickness Behavior in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… between Caenorhabditis elegans and the pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. After a few hours of exposure to and infection by PA14, C. elegans develops a sickness-like behavior termed pathogen avoidance. Here I identify neuronal signals generated during the infection and …

Serotonin-Mediated Sickness Behavior
… the immune system and remodeling physiology, pathogenic infection results in adaptive behavioral changes that promote survival. These 'sickness behaviors' are observed throughout the animal kingdom. I induced sickness in C. elegans by exposing them to a lawn of pathogenic bacteria, and then …

The genetic, neuronal, and chemical basis for microbial discrimination in Caenorhabditis elegans
Discrimination among pathogenic and beneficial microbes is essential for host organism immunity and homeostasis. Increasingly, the nervous system of animals is being recognized as an important site of bacterial recognition, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. …
