Humans and pathogens have co-evolved for millennia. In fact, the battle of humans against pathogens has been a main driver of our evolution. While there’s documental evidence of numerous historic epidemic outbreaks affecting humans, linking symptoms reported during past outbreaks to particular pathogens, has only been possible recently thanks to the coupling of Next Generation Sequencing and ancient DNA research. The study of ancient pathogen genomes has produced rich knowledge about the biology

Over 125 million living women and girls have undergone FGMC, which is associated with numerous negative health consequences. Current elimination interventions are heavily influenced by the idea FGMC is a culturally evolved social coordination norm incentivizing matched behaviour, despite limited empirical testing or support. Here we present data from Ethiopian Arsi Oromo, who were documented in 2010 as having high rates of cutting performed just before marriage, but more recently show declines,

Great research is not enough. Scientists must effectively communicate their work to non-specialists, including scholars in other fields, funding agencies, journalists, and diverse publics. This workshop will provide a foundation for researchers who want to write or create content for diverse audiences.

Healthcare decisions are an amalgamation of cultural, social, and psychological interactions, including trust in healthcare, local norms, and social learning. Research in industrialized countries highlight the roles medical mistrust play in healthcare decisions, reflecting histories of discrimination and negative experiences with the healthcare system. Despite the vulnerability, disease burdens, and histories of colonialism of many in the developing world, recognition that these experiences shap

Nursing is a craft and science deeply rooted in theoretical scholarship. However, like medicine, nursing has historically underutilized evolutionary principles and lacks recognition that evolutionary biology deserves a place among its fundamental sciences. Despite this, nursing theories that emphasize natural law, such as Sr. Callista Roy's Adaptation Theory, Florence Nightingale's Model of Nursing, and Laurie Gottlieb's Developmental/Health Framework, can effectively align with these principles

Viral upper respiratory infections (URIs) are common and cause catastrophic pandemics. Patients and physicians routinely manage URIs with antipyretics. Animals universally respond to infections with a fever, which experimentally improves survival and speeds clearance. Human trials and observational studies have found harmful, equivocal, and beneficial effects of antipyretics on URI outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that antipyretics prolong URIs and, conversely, increasing body temperature acce

We propose to hold a workshop to connect leaders of different evolutionary medicine programs and centers. As with past events, this will be an opportunity to network with other centers to share ideas for governance, programming, and sustainability. It will also serve as an opportunity to plan collaborative efforts, including Club EvMed. Lastly, we will identify current frontiers of evolutionary medicine and the ways that we can bring our communities together to advance those frontiers through

Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by changes in the gut, and IBD patients are known to show gut dysbiosis when compared to healthy individuals. Disease-mediated changes in the intestine impose different selection pressures on the microbiome, resulting in selection for disease-specific microbial traits. In our study, we performed a long term in-vivo evolution experiment of Escherichia coli in a mouse model of IBD to study the adaptation of the gut microbiome to chronic inflammation with

Maintaining life on extended missions in space is a priority for NASA. Space travelers’ immune system undergoes dysregulation, causing susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Decreased saliva flow and low bone density increase infections by dental caries and plaque causing Streptococcus microorganism. NASA intends to switch to silver into PWD on the ISS. S. mutans are well studied on earth; however it’s not studied on extended space exploration. This research study aims to examine the evolu

The physiological changes that take place in an organism during space travel are not well understood. As we continue to push boundaries of exploration, we must consider the impact that evolution has on the microbes in which we carry. The oral microbiome plays a role in not only maintaining oral health, but also in maintaining systemic health. Despite this, dental decay remains one of the highest prevailing diseases and NASA lists dental health conditions as a major concern for occurrence during

Some traits are regulated by the balance of opposing forces. Perturbations disrupt the balance and cause disease. For example, in mammals several strong growth promotors oppose various strong growth suppressors. Imbalance causes overgrowth or undergrowth. Searching for similarly opposed regulatory forces in other traits may provide insight into disease. I mention two promising examples. First, when natural selection favors different trait expression in males and females, conflicting selection on

For the last 36 years, the Rose laboratory at UC Irvine has performed basic research on the evolutionary foundations of aging using experimental evolution in Drosophila. During this period, we have also been increasingly drawn in to the question of how best to apply the evolutionary biology of aging to the practical development of preventative and therapeutic strategies for medical patients suffering from aging-associated diseases. Here are a few key conclusions from our research. 1. Aging is no

The crucial role of the maternal instincts to nurture their offspring, in the preservation of a species is well recognized throughout evolution, Yet, beyond survival, maternal signals to her young sculpt their development and enable the maturation of a healthy, functional brain. In human and non-human primates, the importance of maternal ‘positive’ behaviors for the development of attachment and subsequent mental and cognitive health has been well documented. Indeed, imaging studies have correla

The potential for bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) to target and kill specific bacterial pathogens is very exciting in an era of rising antibiotic resistance and overuse of antibiotics. Phages are capable of killing infectious pathogenic bacteria while leaving the beneficial bacteria intact, and thus, do not result in collateral damage to the gut microbiome typical of antibiotic treatment. My lab is home to the Orange County Phage Team (OCPT), whose goal is to isolate phages that ta

Evolutionary medicine seeks to apply the principles of natural selection to understanding human physiology and diseases. However, most college students majoring in kinesiology or nursing take anatomy & physiology as their general education life science course rather than a general biology course. Since A&P courses typically do not include explicit instruction on natural selection, these students may have a gap in understanding these important concepts that apply to their future occupations.

Virtual teaching tools, and in particular media-based and self-regulated tools, have gained increasing importance in recent years. What is missing are tools that allow to interlink highly interdisciplinary fields such as evolutionary medicine and, at the same time, allow to adapt content to different lectures.
