Like medical pathology, veterinary pathology is divided into two branches, anatomical pathology and clinical pathology. Other than the diagnosis of disease in food-producing animals, companion animals, zoo animals and wildlife, veterinary pathologists also have an important role in drug discovery and safety as well as scientific research.
Veterinary Pathology publishes reports of basic and applied research involving wildlife, marine and zoo animals and poultry. The journal focuses on details of the diagnostic investigations of diseases of animals, reports of experimental studies on mechanisms of specific processes and also provides insights into animal models of human disease.

Mast cells in cell culture. Mast cells (mastocytes) are cells of the immune system and represent an important link between the innate and acquired immune response.They arise from precursor cells in the bone marrow and migrate as immature cells to many tissues, especially those in close contact with the outside world, where they differentiate.
A dog with degenerative myelopathy often stands with its legs close together and may not correct an unusual foot position due to a lack of conscious proprioception. Canine degenerative myelopathy, also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy, is an incurable, progressive disease of the canine spinal cord that is similar in many ways to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Veterinary parasitology is a branch of veterinary medicine that deals with the study of morphology, life-cycle, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of eukaryotic invertebrates of the kingdom Animalia and the taxon Protozoa that depend upon other invertebrates and higher vertebrates for their propagation, nutrition, and metabolism without necessarily causing the death of their hosts.
