Dissection of a sensorimotor circuit underlying pathogen aversion in C. elegans
Abstract 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 lead to activation of pathogen aversiv...
