just quickly what does a pathologist do

just quickly what does a pathologist do when we cut update animals and we also

when we cut update animals and we also

when we cut update animals and we also take surgical biopsies from animals and

take surgical biopsies from animals and

take surgical biopsies from animals and we read out diagnosis and we read out

we read out diagnosis and we read out

we read out diagnosis and we read out the reasons why animals are you sick or

the reasons why animals are you sick or

the reasons why animals are you sick or ab dermatitis or hepatitis whatever and

ab dermatitis or hepatitis whatever and

ab dermatitis or hepatitis whatever and so long this is my son here and i sat by

so long this is my son here and i sat by

so long this is my son here and i sat by lilly last night so I we had some of

lilly last night so I we had some of

lilly last night so I we had some of those conversations that were just

those conversations that were just

those conversations that were just fantastic and my wife she’s from

fantastic and my wife she’s from

fantastic and my wife she’s from Bellevue and that’s our there so my talk

Bellevue and that’s our there so my talk

Bellevue and that’s our there so my talk today is about animal health and

today is about animal health and

today is about animal health and discovering animal health and it’s

discovering animal health and it’s

discovering animal health and it’s interrelatedness to human disease in

interrelatedness to human disease in

interrelatedness to human disease in global health and I’m going to talk

global health and I’m going to talk

global health and I’m going to talk about domestic animals and exotic

about domestic animals and exotic

about domestic animals and exotic animals somewhat so that’s that’s what

animals somewhat so that’s that’s what

animals somewhat so that’s that’s what I’m going to talk about the health of

I’m going to talk about the health of

I’m going to talk about the health of animals especially our domestic even

animals especially our domestic even

animals especially our domestic even even some of our livestock animals and

even some of our livestock animals and

even some of our livestock animals and how it’s interrelated to human in global

how it’s interrelated to human in global

how it’s interrelated to human in global health and so as a veterinary

health and so as a veterinary

health and so as a veterinary pathologist and a veteran at

pathologist and a veteran at

pathologist and a veteran at veterinarian we’re well positioned to

veterinarian we’re well positioned to

veterinarian we’re well positioned to see this because this we’re seeing

see this because this we’re seeing

see this because this we’re seeing animals that die is apologist other

animals that die is apologist other

animals that die is apologist other veterinarians are diagnosing disease but

veterinarians are diagnosing disease but

veterinarians are diagnosing disease but we’re seeing the lesions histologically

we’re seeing the lesions histologically

we’re seeing the lesions histologically microscopically that’s going on some of

microscopically that’s going on some of

microscopically that’s going on some of these animal tissues that’s very similar

these animal tissues that’s very similar

these animal tissues that’s very similar to what you see in human disease but

to what you see in human disease but

to what you see in human disease but we’re at that point where we’re seeing

we’re at that point where we’re seeing

we’re at that point where we’re seeing some stuff that maybe others don’t see

some stuff that maybe others don’t see

some stuff that maybe others don’t see and there’s plenty of scientists that do

and there’s plenty of scientists that do

and there’s plenty of scientists that do similar things and they have great ideas

similar things and they have great ideas

similar things and they have great ideas also but there’s there’s a core that a

correlate of us being as veterinarians be well positioned for diagnosis of

be well positioned for diagnosis of

be well positioned for diagnosis of these diseases anybody know this guy

these diseases anybody know this guy

these diseases anybody know this guy probably not I didn’t and so his name is

probably not I didn’t and so his name is

probably not I didn’t and so his name is dr. Salman and he was from the first

dr. Salman and he was from the first

dr. Salman and he was from the first veterinary class in the United States

ring bell so Salman not the fish but he’s important for one thing and

he’s important for one thing and

he’s important for one thing and probably many other things too but he

probably many other things too but he

probably many other things too but he was a guy that isolated salmonella and

was a guy that isolated salmonella and

was a guy that isolated salmonella and salmonella is caused typhoid fever and

salmonella is caused typhoid fever and

salmonella is caused typhoid fever and all that so he reckoned he was working

all that so he reckoned he was working

all that so he reckoned he was working in microbiology and we recognize this

in microbiology and we recognize this

in microbiology and we recognize this organism identified it and that organism

organism identified it and that organism

organism identified it and that organism cause disease in a lot of different

cause disease in a lot of different

cause disease in a lot of different species but it also causes disease in

species but it also causes disease in

species but it also causes disease in humans also working in his lab is

humans also working in his lab is

humans also working in his lab is Theobald Smith and Theobald Smith

Theobald Smith and Theobald Smith

Theobald Smith and Theobald Smith identified in cultured brucellosis which

identified in cultured brucellosis which

identified in cultured brucellosis which also causes these and animals that can

also causes these and animals that can

also causes these and animals that can also cause in the cause disease in

also cause in the cause disease in

also cause in the cause disease in humans as well so there’s an example of

humans as well so there’s an example of

humans as well so there’s an example of somebody just kind of porphyrin kind of

somebody just kind of porphyrin kind of

somebody just kind of porphyrin kind of working on things recognizing things

working on things recognizing things

putting two and two together and

putting two and two together and identified some things this one is Bill

brain it’s a section of a brain and I’ve

brain it’s a section of a brain and I’ve met bill he’s a veterinarian he’s a

met bill he’s a veterinarian he’s a

met bill he’s a veterinarian he’s a veterinary pathologist he passed away a

veterinary pathologist he passed away a

veterinary pathologist he passed away a couple years ago wonderful humble you a

couple years ago wonderful humble you a

couple years ago wonderful humble you a human being but in the 1950s he was some

human being but in the 1950s he was some

human being but in the 1950s he was some working on scraping and scrape is a

working on scraping and scrape is a

working on scraping and scrape is a disease it’s a CNS disease that’s its

disease it’s a CNS disease that’s its

disease it’s a CNS disease that’s its kind of obscure and he was noticing that

kind of obscure and he was noticing that

kind of obscure and he was noticing that the sheep and even talk eventually went

the sheep and even talk eventually went

the sheep and even talk eventually went to work on mink encephalopathy and

to work on mink encephalopathy and

to work on mink encephalopathy and chronic wasting disease and sheep but he

chronic wasting disease and sheep but he

chronic wasting disease and sheep but he was noticing these things in chief and

was noticing these things in chief and

was noticing these things in chief and he had read about this disease called

he had read about this disease called

he had read about this disease called kuru in Guinea in New Guinea some of the

kuru in Guinea in New Guinea some of the

kuru in Guinea in New Guinea some of the native people that live in New Guinea

native people that live in New Guinea

native people that live in New Guinea and they had a ritual of eating at some

and they had a ritual of eating at some

and they had a ritual of eating at some sort of ritual were they eat brains so

sort of ritual were they eat brains so

sort of ritual were they eat brains so there’s some cannibalism and they

there’s some cannibalism and they

there’s some cannibalism and they developed this deletion and it come to

developed this deletion and it come to

developed this deletion and it come to find out that it was a prion disease

find out that it was a prion disease

find out that it was a prion disease which we now know in these cruel people

which we now know in these cruel people

which we now know in these cruel people or in this disease called kuru that is

or in this disease called kuru that is

or in this disease called kuru that is actually similar to scrapie and sheep

actually similar to scrapie and sheep

actually similar to scrapie and sheep and so he put that together and that

and so he put that together and that

and so he put that together and that what I have out there that text up there

what I have out there that text up there

what I have out there that text up there is a letter he sent to the

is a letter he sent to the

is a letter he sent to the lancet the journal Lancet and he

lancet the journal Lancet and he

lancet the journal Lancet and he connected these two things and

connected these two things and

connected these two things and eventually people went on and said aha

eventually people went on and said aha

eventually people went on and said aha yes they are connected and then then

yes they are connected and then then

yes they are connected and then then further on then staniel prisoner he

further on then staniel prisoner he

further on then staniel prisoner he identified prion ceased being the cause

identified prion ceased being the cause

identified prion ceased being the cause of these and so unfortunately he didn’t

of these and so unfortunately he didn’t

of these and so unfortunately he didn’t get the Nobel Prize everybody that

get the Nobel Prize everybody that

get the Nobel Prize everybody that worked on that around him ended up

worked on that around him ended up

worked on that around him ended up getting the Nobel Prize but he was the

getting the Nobel Prize but he was the

getting the Nobel Prize but he was the one that connected it and came that

really need stories about what they did

really need stories about what they did the only thing I would add to that story

the only thing I would add to that story

the only thing I would add to that story is that their veterinarians outbreak

is that their veterinarians outbreak

is that their veterinarians outbreak came out but when the movie came out on

something better they made a better

something better they made a better story I don’t know so I got a couple

story I don’t know so I got a couple

eye when he’s an Australian actually but

eye when he’s an Australian actually but he worked at Iowa State University

he worked at Iowa State University

he worked at Iowa State University veterinary pathologist and he’s the one

veterinary pathologist and he’s the one

veterinary pathologist and he’s the one on the low broad one and he’s with his

friend they did a swim meet in Australia

friend they did a swim meet in Australia and they just got done and so on that’s

and they just got done and so on that’s

and they just got done and so on that’s him there but mark worked on hendra

him there but mark worked on hendra

him there but mark worked on hendra virus and in Australia there were some

virus and in Australia there were some

virus and in Australia there were some horses dying again and people were

horses dying again and people were

horses dying again and people were wondering why and it ends up that there

wondering why and it ends up that there

wondering why and it ends up that there was these some flying foxes the bat

was these some flying foxes the bat

was these some flying foxes the bat that’s shown there and the flying foxes

that’s shown there and the flying foxes

that’s shown there and the flying foxes would rest on trees and then they’re

would rest on trees and then they’re

would rest on trees and then they’re dropped they eat the fruit droppings had

dropped they eat the fruit droppings had

dropped they eat the fruit droppings had come down the horses would eat through

come down the horses would eat through

come down the horses would eat through the horse of the die but hendra virus is

the horse of the die but hendra virus is

the horse of the die but hendra virus is a paramyxovirus and people were dying

a paramyxovirus and people were dying

a paramyxovirus and people were dying too so they also worked with these

too so they also worked with these

too so they also worked with these infectious agents they ended up stopping

infectious agents they ended up stopping

infectious agents they ended up stopping it it didn’t

it it didn’t

it it didn’t bread watch out of Australia and

bread watch out of Australia and

bread watch out of Australia and probably never will because the flying

probably never will because the flying

probably never will because the flying foxes are the kind of a unique niche but

foxes are the kind of a unique niche but

foxes are the kind of a unique niche but it is one of those small connections

it is one of those small connections

it is one of those small connections connections of a disease that affects

secrete chloride into the lungs and they get a lot of ammonia is pretty easily

get a lot of ammonia is pretty easily

get a lot of ammonia is pretty easily they also have some pancreatic

they also have some pancreatic

they also have some pancreatic deficiencies there was a mouse model

deficiencies there was a mouse model

deficiencies there was a mouse model this they knocked out that gene in mice

this they knocked out that gene in mice

this they knocked out that gene in mice but the mice never had the respiratory

but the mice never had the respiratory

but the mice never had the respiratory problem and that’s a big problem because

problem and that’s a big problem because

problem and that’s a big problem because most individuals if they die they die of

there could be a drug for RSV and

there could be a drug for RSV and probably the next five to ten years and
