VTPA 342.3
General Pathology
Q1&2(3L-4P)

Basic pathogenic mechanisms that underlie disease processes are discussed. Functional derangements are correlated with structural alterations. The following topics are considered: cell and tissue injury, disturbances of circulation and hemostasis, inflammation, healing and repair, immunopathology, disturbances of growth and neoplasia.

Note: This is a 12 week course starting in Q1.

VTPA 343.5
Systemic Pathology
Q2&3(3L-4P),Q4(3L-2P)

The principles discussed in general pathology will be utilized in the consideration of the pathology of specific diseases which affect the body systems of domestic animals. Principles of pathogenesis and diagnosis will be stressed.

Note: This is a 20 week course starting in the middle of Q2.

Diseases of Poultry
2(2L-1P)
Prerequisite(s): Open to students in the College of Agriculture.

Designed to provide information on the causes, signs and control of common poultry diseases for students with little or limited background in the anatomy, physiology, microbiology and pathology of the avian species. Emphasizes the effect of disease as a limiting factor in efficient poultry production and the control of disease on a modern poultry farm. Given in alternate years.

VTPA 445.2
Avian and Laboratory Animal Medicine
Q3(3L-2P),Q4(2L-2P)

VTPA 820.3
Mammalian Pathology I
1/2(2S-6C)

Examination of animals submitted for diagnosis employing necropsy technique, gross and histopathology, and ancillary testing. Pathogenesis and diagnosis are emphasized. The student will be required to complete at least 20 to 30 cases for 3 credit units. Selected cases are discussed at weekly necropsy conferences. Other studies include familiarization with histological techniques, histochemical techniques and macro and micro photography. Students are expected to present seminars based on case material.
