Course abstract

The aim of the course is to present Ph.D.-students for various approaches to inflammation in the field of Veterinary Pathology. Overviews concerning general aspects of inflammation and different identification techniques for the evaluation of the inflammatory process will be presented. The inflammatory process will be addressed with reference to selected organs, infectious agents, and animal species through whole or half day seminars:· *Gastrointestinal tract·
* Host reactions to parasites·
* Inflammation in fish· Pneumonia·
* Inflammation in joints
During the course the Ph.D.-students will be exposed to material through: overview lectures, post mortem work, and slide/article seminars. During the slide/article seminars the students will read histopathological slides. The slides are related to articles, which the students will receive 2 months ahead of the course. Together with the slides questions will be provided, and following each session each group will present the slides and articles in plenum.
