3.00 Credits
Description: Biology of host-parasite relationships with emphasis on parasites of veterinary and human importance. Parasite morphology and physiology, life cycles, epidemiology, pathogenesis and zoonotic potential. Graduate-level requirements include an in-depth research paper on the molecular biology/immune response of a single parasite. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: MIC 503R; MIC is home department. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Survey of selected diseases of horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. Includes basic coverage of mechanisms of infectious disease, immunology, infectious agents, diagnostic techniques as well as the relationship of husbandry and management to the occurrence of livestock disease. Disease topics covered will include a wide range of infectious and non-infectious diseases (including nutritional deficiencies and important toxins and toxicants) affecting livestock. A basic course covering the animal industry (e.g. Animal Science 102 or equivalent) is recommended. Graduate-level requirements include a class presentation for which students will review the literature and prepare and present a lecture on a livestock disease topic to the class. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. May be convened with: V SC 405. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Causes and consequences of evolutionary change in pathogens. Evolutionary principles, vertebrate immunity, molecular epidemiology, evolution of virulence, evolution of antimicrobial resistance, predicting epidemics, impacts of infectious disease on host evolution, HIV evolution. Graduate-level requirements include a term paper and an in-class presentation on the same topic. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: ECOL 509; ECOL is home department. May be convened with: V SC 409. Usually offered: Fall.
-

3.00 - 5.00 Credits
Description: Comparative general pathology of animal and selected human diseases with emphasis on pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and morphologic and biochemical changes at the macroscopic, microscopic and molecular levels. Recitation will stress general mechanisms of disease common to all mammalian species, with focus on tissue injury and adaptation; inflammation and repair; and disorders of circulation, immunity, and cell growth, including neoplasia. Laboratory will reinforce recitation and stress practical, hands-on recognition of disease in organs and tissues at the gross and microscopic levels. Available for honors credit. Graduate-level requirements will include outside discussion and preparation of a research proposal on a relevant topic emphasizing the molecular pathogenesis of selected infectious diseases and currently applicable biotechniques, and critical analysis of related publications from the current literature. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): V SC 400A, V SC 400B, and VSC 422 are strongly recommended, and/or graduate-level credit in the life sciences, or consent of instructor. Identical to: IMB 523, PCOL 523. May be convened with: V SC 423. Usually offered: Spring.
