this one is ostensibly pro- but it's so weaksauce that it ends up implying a lot of the anti- case - good resource! https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Trevor_Case/publication/24170514_Disgust_as_a_Disease-Avoidance_Mechanism/links/594a0714a6fdcc3e17fc7c9e/Disgust-as-a-Disease-Avoidance-Mechanism.pdf …

I have to check on this but IIRC in Down Girl, Kate Manne (an analytic moral philosopher) cites a study that the moral opprobrium precedes disgust and generates it. Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for?
