  • 1.00 - 4.00 Credits

    Lectures in current pathobiology topics derived from the expertise of the lecturer. Prerequisite: 12 hours of biological sciences and consent of instructor.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Anatomical basis of disease in mammals. Emphasis on concepts of pathogenesis of disease, and the gross, microscopic and clinicopathological changes associated with lesions: cell injury and death; cellular degeneration; disturbances of growth and circulation; neoplasia; inflammation; and recognition of gross and microscopic tissue changes. Background in immunology will be beneficial. Dual listed with PATB 4130. Prerequisites: C or better in LIFE 2022.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Introduction to wildlife diseases of the Rocky Mountain region and North America. Emphasis on infectious, parasitic, traumatic, toxic, and other disease agents with coverage of mechanisms of disease, epidemiology, and disease impacts on wildlife populations and species. Significant discussion of zoonotic diseases and diseases at the wildlife/domestic animal interface. Dual listed with PATB 4170. Prerequisites: 12 hours of biological or zoological sciences.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Intended as a survey of the molecular mechanisms that have evolved in pathogenic bacterial species which result is disease. The broad-scoped objective is to assist students in gaining an understanding of principals and concepts as they apply to common themes of bacterial virulence acting on higher order host organisms. In-class review/discussion of scholarly manuscripts, historical to present day, is paramount in allowing students to gain a better appreciation and comprehension of biological principals and concepts through knowledge of experimental approaches. Dual listed with PATB 4220. Prerequisites: PATB/MICR 2220 and statistics (or epidemiology).
  • 3.00 Credits

    Introduction to 1) how interactions among species, ecosystems, human systems, and abiotic components of the environment affect patterns and processes of disease, 2) considerations for coevolution of hosts and pathogens, conservation biology, models used to understand disease dynamics, and approaches to manage and control disease in animals, plants, and humans. Dual List: PATB 4240. Prerequisites: LIFE 2022 or 2023 and STAT 2050 or 2070.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Covers mammalian tissue anatomy and function at a microscopic level. Emphasizes the relationship of tissue structure and function to health and the development of disease. Intended for students pursuing careers or continuing education in medical/veterinary medical, research, and related fields. Dual listed with PATB 4300. Prerequisite: LIFE 2022.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Biology of the immune system; cellular and molecular mechanisms; host resistance to infectious agents; as well as hypersensitivities, autoimmunity, tumor and tissue rejection. Includes laboratory for immunological techniques. Students are required to complete a term paper and make a presentation. Dual listed with PATB 4400; cross listed with MOLB 5400. Prerequisite: MOLB 2220.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Biology, importance, diagnosis and control of helminth and protozoan parasites of wild and domestic animals. Arthropod vectors and/or intermediate hosts of helminth & protozoan parasites are included. Diagnostic procedures and identificational familiarity with agents are emphasized in lab. Prerequisite: 8 hours of Biological Science.
  • 1.00 - 4.00 Credits

    Research involvement in pathobiology to learn laboratory methods, scientific literature, research design and data analysis and presentation. Prerequisite: graduate standing and/or consent of instructor and 16 hours of biological sciences.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses as infectious agents and models for modern molecular biology. Examines concepts and principles of pathogenesis, host response and the regulation of virus-host interactions. Genome organization, structure and replication will be examined within the context of the co-evolution of virus and host. Cross listed with MOLB 4510. Prerequisite: MOLB 3610 or 4600 plus 4610.
