    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

    Toxicology is the study of poisons, their mechanisms of action, and their effects on various organisms including man and domestic animals. Designed to provide students in the life and environmental sciences with an understanding of the principles of toxicology as they apply to animal and human health, food safety and environmental studies. Dual listed with PATB 4140. Prerequisite: 9 hrs. biological science (eg. physiology), 4 hrs. chemistry, 3 hrs. biochemistry.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Neurologic Diseases: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches, 3 hrs.Use lectures, student presentations and discussions to learn about impacts, molecular mechanisms and prospects for effective therapy of some important neurologic diseases of man and animals. Disorder we will study will include chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Alzheimer's disease, prion diseases, stroke and epilepsy. Cross listed with NEUR 5160. Prerequisites: Courses in neuroanatomy and biochemistry; graduate level standing.
  • 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.
  • 2.00 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

    Emphasis is on medically important arthropods, protozoa and worms; clinical effects of infection, epidemiology, avoidance/control and identification/diagnosis. Dual listed with PATB 4360. Prerequisite: 8 hours of biological science.
