EEB 315 - Behavioral Aspects of Disease3 Credit Hours
Have you every wondered why we avoid sick others, if other animals practice social distancing to prevent the spread of pathogens, and how pathogens manipulate the behavior of their hosts? This course will introduce students to the many ways humans and non-human animals change their behaviors in response to infectious and non-infectious diseases. We will explore topics such as avoidance, exclusion from groups, self-isolation, social distancing, aid provided to sick others, and parasite manipulation of host behavior. For each of these behaviors we will explore the underlying evolutionary and ecological contexts and epidemiological implications.
