摘要

It was shown that parasites influence both the responses of uninfected and infected female mice to infected males. In females, a consequence of exposure to the olfactory cues associated with an infected male was a reduction of the reactivity to a thermal surface (i.e. pain inhibition or analgesia). Uninfected oestrous and non-oestrous females showed marked analgesic responses after exposure to the odours of males infected with either Heligmosomoides polygyrus or Eimeria vermiformis. Uninfected oestrous females distinguished between infected and physically stressed males, displaying a greater analgesic response to the odours of infected males. These responses and their anxiety-associated behavioural correlates elicited either a reduced interest in,or avoidance of, parasitized males by females. Oestrous females infected with H. polygyrus displayed a reduced analgesic response to the odours of infected males and differentially responded to the odours of males infected with either the same (H. polygyrus) or a different parasite (E. vermiformis). An exposure time of 1 minute elicited minimal responses to the odours of males infected with the same parasite (H. polygyrus) and an attenuated, though significant, non-opioid peptide-mediated analgesic response to males infected with E. vermiformis. Responses to the odours of a stressed male were unaffected by parasitic infection. The reduced analgesic responses of parasitized females to the odours of infected males may involve either enhanced odour familiarity and responses to group odour templates and/or neuromodulatory shifts resulting in reduced anxiety and potentially greater interest in the infected males.
