• PATB 4130: Mammal Pathobiol

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  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; inflamation; and recognition of gross and microscopic tissue changes. Background in immunology will be beneficial. Dual listed with PATB 5130. Cross listed with MICR 4130. Prerequisites: C or better in LIFE 2022.

• PATB 4220: Mol Mech Bact Path

  2.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  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 5220. Prerequisites: PATB/MICR 2220 and statistics (or epidemiology).

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  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/Cross List: PATB/ENR 4240/5240. Prerequisites: LIFE 2022 or 2023 and STAT 2050 or 2070.
