DISCOVERING “DISCOVERY PATH”
Contributed by Keiko Petrosky, PhD, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine
As veterinary students, we think of patients in terms
of species: small animal v. large, exotic v. laborato-
ry animals. It’s easy to forget the impact veterinari-
ans can have on the human species, too. During my
summer internship at Amgen, a biotech company
that specializes in proteins as therapeutic agents, I
met veterinarians who work to serve human pa-
tients, from laboratory animal veterinarians to veter-
inary pathologists, each playing an important role in
the preclinical stage of the drug development pro-
cess. I encountered veterinary pathologists who
work in “discovery,” working as much on target
validation and preclinical assay development as on
efficacy and toxicity profiles. My particular projects
were to develop a quantitative, immunoassay-
based method to measure phosphosignal and to use
proximity ligation to detect immune complexes
from preclinical samples. I spent as much time
doing bench work as reading slides! Along the
way histologists taught me immunohistochemistry,
multicolor immunofluorescence, and morphomet-
ric analysis, the traditional tools of a veterinary
pathology laboratory. With summer events like
kayaking on the Charles River to the Boston Har-
bor and a trip to Fenway Park, the Amgen intern-
ship program coordinators fostered a sense of fun
alongside a strong sense of mission to serve pa-
tients.

V o l u m e 3 , I s s u e 2
DISCOVERING “DISCOVERY PATH” , Cont.
Assay development allowed me to flex the molecular
muscles that I developed as a graduate student in bio-
physics and biochemistry at UCSF. It was there that I
encountered laboratory veterinarians for the first
time. After completing my PhD, complete with then-
governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s signature, I spoke
with every veterinary pathologist and laboratory ani-
mal vet I could find to learn more about veterinary
careers in biomedical research. Intrigued, I worked
as a biologist at Novartis before enrolling in Tufts
Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine with the
express purposes of becoming a veterinary
pathologist. At Tufts, I’m currently working on eval-
uating grading schemes for common canine neo-
plastic diseases, a unique opportunity to work with
both pathologists and clinicians on applied research.
Veterinary pathology is a way for me to combine my
lifelong love of animals (and dead things) with re-
search. From diagnostic pathology, toxicologic pa-
thology, and discovery pathology, to regulatory ca-
reers, veterinary pathology is a career with options
for every interest. For the scientific and research-
minded, and for those who want to have an impact on
human as well as animal medicine, a career as a vet-
erinary pathologist in industry might be for you, that
is if you are willing to occasionally swap your micro-
scope for a pipette, and your gross necropsies for a
laboratory bench top!
Dr. Keiko Petrosky
“For all our conceits about
being the center of the universe,
we live in a routine planet of a
humdrum star stuck away in an
obscure corner ... on an
unexceptional galaxy which is
one of about 100 billion
galaxies. That is the
fundamental fact of the universe
we inhabit, and it is very good for
us to understand that”

The MSU CVM Pathology Club was founded in 1999
by Dr. Laura Kennedy (class of 2001). With the support
of faculty advisors Dr. Jon Patterson and Dr.
Julia Stickle, the student executive board has organized
multiple wet labs and brought in several speakers
from the Michigan area. The club also works extensively
with MSU’s Diagnostic Center for Population
and Animal Health (DCPAH) in planning its
events. On the weekends, students can partake in
shadowing pathologists, residents, and clerkship students
as they perform necropsies, make diagnoses
and write up reports.
Shadowing gives students the opportunity to apply
Path Club members shadowing at DCPAH
their knowledge, get their hands dirty before their
clinical years and interact one-on-one with the faculty
and residents. DCPAH also lends its facilities
to necropsy wet labs where students can work side
by side on anything from sea lions to horses. Participating
in necropsy, biopsy and clinical pathology
rounds offers a welcome break from hours of lecture
and helps to build confidence and problem
solving skills.
Other club events include the clinical pathology
blood smear wet lab where participants practice
preparing and interpreting slides, and a monthly
“What’s Your Diagnosis?” contest on the club’s
website which features a case that students must
solve. The annual path club Epicurean encourages
students to use their rusty right brains to come up
with creative food dishes that resemble the presentation
of diseases and parasites. Past winners have
included melting abscess cream pie, “blood” Jello
molds with gummy worm microfilaria, melt-inyour-mouth
myelomalacia and caseous lymphadenitis
chocolate puffs.

Through all of these events, the Path Club has
helped to foster interest in the subject of pathology
and has churned out a number of students who have
chosen to move on to residency programs. It offers
individuals the opportunity to meet like-minded students
and become closer with the pathologists who
will someday become their colleagues and mentors.
Student chapters are an invaluable part of organized
veterinary medicine that greatly improve the experiences
of veterinary students and prepare them for the
future.

Michigan State University College
of Veterinary Medicine: Residen-
cy Training Program
Contributed by Scott Fitzgerald, DVM, PhD,
DACVP (MSU Faculty) and Jessica Hoane,
DVM DACVP (Charles River Pathology Associates)
The mission of the Michigan State University Pathology
Residency Training Program is to provide
comprehensive and diverse training which leads to
board certification by the American College of Veterinary
Pathologists (ACVP), and provides training
for a successful career in any area of veterinary pathology.
One of the foundations to this training is a
heavy and diverse load of diagnostic cases; this is
provided by the Diagnostic Center for Population &
Animal Health (DCPAH) which is the only diagnostic
laboratory in the state of Michigan and so
receives all diagnostic specimens from the Veterinary
Teaching Hospital, all MSU laboratory animal
specimens, as well as submissions from veterinarians,
animal owners, and the four major zoos in
Michigan. The DCPAH was built in 2004 and provides
state-of-the-art facilities including 4 different
necropsy floors and a biosafety level 3 floor.
Our residency training faculty includes 11 board
certified anatomic pathologists, and 4 board certified
clinical pathologists, each of whom has one or
more areas of specialty interest and expertise. This
provides our residents with an invaluable resource
for case consultations as well as mentors. The residents
receive training through a series of courses
and seminars in addition to their hands-on practical
training. Courses are offered over a two-year cycle.
Required courses include Advanced General Pathology,
Advanced Systemic Pathology, and Advanced
Clinical Pathology. Elective courses include
Poultry Pathology, Pathology of Neoplastic
Diseases, Laboratory Animal Pathology, and Electron-microscopic
Techniques. Courses are supple-
mented by ongoing seminars and rounds. The training
program also provides exposure to teaching, an
annual mock board examination held in conjunction
with the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada,
and financial support to attend various national
meetings or board-preparatory short-courses.

Since 2000, 35 residents (26 anatomic and 9
clinical) have completed their pathology training
through Michigan State University with a current
group of 10 residents (7 anatomic and 3 clinical). The
majority of the residency positions (57%) have been
funded internally, though a large number (34%) of
both anatomic and clinical residencies have been
funded by MPI Research, Inc. a privately held contract
research organization (CRO) located in Mattawan,
MI. The MPI position provides a unique opportunity
for anatomic and clinical pathology residents to
spend 15 months in a toxicologic pathology environment
during the final year of their residency. Two
residents have been funded through the ACVP-STP
Coalition which also provides for opportunities to
spend time in a toxicologic pathology environment.
Ultimately, our residents have an excellent track record
at passing the ACVP board examination (over
80% pass rate on the first attempt). Job placement
following the residency is quite successful and diverse
with 10 past residents in contract lab/
pharmaceutical positions, 10 in university positions, 5
in government positions, one is a private consultant,
and 7 are currently in a PhD program.

Case Report
The case of the milk-spotted liver…
The presentation…………….
Signalment: 3 month old, gilt, Yorkshire Cross, Sus scrofa domesticus, porcine
History: This pig was housed with 9 other gilts. She was the only pig reported to have
dyspnea, cough, diarrhea, and lethargy.
Necropsy/gross pathologic findings: There were multifocal to coalescing pale nodules
on the serosal surface of the liver and extending into the parenchyma. These nodules
extruded white pasty material on cut section. Within some of these nodules and corresponding
ectatic bile ducts, there were adult ascarids measuring approximately 10-20 cm
long and approximately 1 mm wide. Within the caudal lung lobes, there were locally extensive
regions of mild to moderate consolidation; these foci of consolidation were pale tan
to grey. Within the cranioventral lobes, there was purple mottling bilaterally.

multocida and Mycoplasma hyorhinis. Bacterial culture of the intestine
was negative. Bacterial culture of the spleen was negative. Virology (PCV-1,
PCV-2, PRRS) via PCR was positive for PCV-2. Qualitative fecal revealed many
Balantidium coli cysts and few Ascaris suum eggs. Parasite identification of those
seen within the bile ducts of the liver during gross necropsy revealed Ascaris suum.

Case Report
The case of the milk-spotted liver, Continued…….
Microscopic description: Multifocally, within sections of liver, bile ducts were
markedly ectatic and contained cross-sections of adult nematodes measuring approximately
1 mm in diameter. These nematodes contained a thick cuticle measuring approximately
15 microns and an underlying hypodermis. They had coelomyarianpolymyarian
musculature and prominent lateral cords. There were variable amounts of
pseudocoelomic membranes connecting the intestine and sarcoplasm of the musculature
and lateral cords. The large digestive tract was composed of uninucleate ciliated
columnar epithelial cells. Nematodes were variably surrounded by lakes of fibrin, various
combinations and concentrations of neutrophils and eosinophils, and basophilic
streaming cellular (nuclear) debris. Many bile ducts were lined by markedly hypertrophic
epithelium and were surrounded by a thick rim of fibrosis and lymphoplasmacytic
inflammation. In these areas, there was also prominent bile duct hyperplasia
and occasional lymphatic dilatation. There was no microscopic evidence of parasitic
disease in other organs.

Case Report
The case of the Milk-Spotted Liver, Continued…...
And the answer is…………….
Morphologic diagnoses: Liver: Severe chronic active cholecystitis and hepatitis with
intralesional adult nematodes, marked bile duct hyperplasia and hypertrophy, and lymphatic
dilatation
Comments: Adults of the large roundworm, Ascaris suum, reside most commonly in the
small intestine but may migrate aberrantly into the stomach or bile ducts. It’s important to
note that this can occur post-mortem. The pathologist should be especially wary of this if
single to small numbers of adults are seen within bile ducts. In this case, however, necropsy
was performed within minutes of euthanasia, there were moderate numbers of adults
within bile ducts, and severe lesions consistent with long-standing infection.
In the life cycle of Ascaris suum, many eggs are produced (up to 250,000/day). They can
develop to the infective stage (containing the L3 larva) in 2-3 weeks in warm conditions.
For the most part, eggs are resistant to chemical agents, but low humidity, heat, or direct
sunlight are detrimental to survival. After ingestion of the larvated eggs, hatching occurs
in the small intestine. Within two hours, numerous small submucosal hemorrhages may be
seen in the wall of the duodenum and anterior jejunum as the larvae penetrate to the hepatic
portal system. Larvae arrive in the liver where they molt to the L3. The L3 leave the liver
and travel to the lungs via the bloodstream. They break out of the capillaries into the
alveoli where they molt; the L4 migrate up the bronchioles, bronchi, and trachea to the
pharynx. The L4 are swallowed and swept to the small intestine where they grow rapidly
and molt to the L5. Patency occurs at 35-60 days.
The severe hepatic changes noted in this case may have contributed to clinical debilitation.
Histologically, this pig also had severe bronchopneumonia (Pasteurella multocida and Mycoplasma
hyorhinis), a mild lymphoplasmacytic perivascular encephalitis (nonspecific, but
suggestive of sepsis), a lymphoplasmacytic interstitial nephritis, and lymphoid depletion
(PCV-2). Immunohistochemistry for Leptospira spp. was negative. As such, the interstitial
nephritis may have been associated with PCV-2. Intracytoplasmic botryoid inclusions
were not noted in lymph node or kidney. Qualitative fecal revealed many Balantidium coli
cysts and few Ascaris suum eggs.
