Primary current research interest is in discovering and reporting
new diseases in animals via diagnostic pathology. Principal funded
research projects in the past have involved pathogenesis of eosinophilic
inflammation associated with Taenia taeniaeformis infection; and
pathogenesis and comparative pathology of bovine Marfan syndrome.
Collaborative research projects have included analysis of trefoil
peptide expression in disease of dogs and cats (Bonnie Campbell,
Principal Investigator) pathogenesis of pneumonia Rocky Mountain Bighorn
Sheep (Subramaniam Srikumaran, Principal Investigator); and
pathogenesis of E. coli O157:H7 virulence factors (Tom Besser, Principal
Investigator).
