The American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) is an organization of board-certified scientists that has been setting the standard for veterinary pathology since 1949.

Avian influenza A(H5N1) has circulated among wild and domestic bird flocks for 30 years, but public health experts have become concerned by how the virus is now spreading from one mammal species to another. In a recent multi-institutional study published in Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07849-4), veterinary pathologists played an integral role in investigations that ultimately showed how efficiently the virus has spread among cows, as well as from cows to other animals, including cats and a raccoon. For Erin Edwards, DVM, MS, DACVP, a veterinary pathologist at TVMDL, “the most striking and unexpected pathological finding in these cattle was the targeted necrosis of the mammary gland. These cattle were primarily presenting with a drop in milk production. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was not on anybody’s radar at that point, and these cattle did not show neurological signs as seen in most other HPAI-infected mammals. It might have taken us longer to figure it out had the birds not started dying on the dairies.”

Can you identify what’s wrong with this image?
This is a hypothetical example of a pathology error which misdiagnoses a common laboratory finding of water artifact as a potential infection. Errors, omissions, or “false claims” in pathology data such as this are encountered in many scientific journals, especially those that do not routinely include pathologists in their peer review process. The ACVP Advocacy and Policy Committee and Board of Directors have therefore developed a web submission portal (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ACVP_Errors) that will allow professionals with advanced pathology training to report concerns on substantiative errors in publications.

We need your help!

When you come across a pathology error published in a scientific journal, please take 5-10 minutes to fill out the anonymous survey on the ACVP Errors in Publication web submission portal. The information gathered from submissions to this web portal will be collated and used to compile the data needed to develop and promote publication standards and review procedures to improve the accuracy of published pathology data. Any data obtained will be maintained strictly in anonymous form and will greatly benefit the advancement of this initiative and overall scientific community.

**NEW MEMBER APPRECIATION CONTENT** ACVP would like to appreciate members in all facets of their work. If you or any members you know have work that correlates with an upcoming recognized holiday, please reach out to [email protected] Happy National Fossil Day! ACVP Diplomate Dr. Betsy Uhl, DVM, PhD, DACVP (University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine), has a love of bones that has led her to collaborating in Paleopathology and advocating for the inclusion of veterinary pathologists on publications in this field. Pictured is an Oredont skull with post mortem trauma - it was likely damaged during collection. Oreodonts, (now Merycoidodontoidae), have been described as 'ruminating hogs’ because of their size and shape, although they are more closely related to camelids. They were a superfamily of prehistoric cud-chewing artiodactyls that evolved in North America after the expansion of grasslands at the end of the Eocene first appearing around 48 million years ago. They went extinct around 4 million years ago when the climate cooled.

On June 19th, we celebrate Juneteenth, the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On that day in 1865, Union soldiers arrived in the coastal city of Galveston, Texas, to deliver General Order No. 3, officially ending slavery in the state. This was two and half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation which was difficult to enforce in some states lacking a strong Union presence. In the summer of 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, recognizing June 19 as a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans.

"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."
- Desmond Tutu

Celebrations will be held around the country including community gatherings, readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, church services, and speaker series. You can also show your support by ordering food from black-owned restaurants or getting involved in a community event. Many states and cities list planned celebrations that are easy to find with Google search, and here are few examples for those in Ohio and Texas, Oregon, Washington D.C. and New York. Livestreaming of events such as those offered by the Smithsonian are also available in the month of June. If you are interested in cooking, you can check out this podcast about a cookbook that honors Juneteenth, and other Black celebrations.

Together, let us honor the legacy of Juneteenth and foster a future where freedom and equality prevail.

Happy Pride Month! The American College of Veterinary Pathologists stands proud alongside the LGBTQIA+ community as we celebrate the diversity, resilience, and strength that defines us. Our differences make us stronger, more compassionate, and more effective in the pursuit of excellence.

We recognize and honor the contributions of LGBTQIA+ professionals who have played a vital role in advancing our field. Your dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to animal health and welfare inspire us all.

As we celebrate the progress we have made, we also acknowledge the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. Let this month be a catalyst for change—a time to amplify their voices, advocate for equality, and foster a world free from discrimination.

Rainbow families play a crucial role in this journey. They represent love, acceptance, and resilience. Whether biological or chosen, our families provide unwavering support, understanding, and encouragement. Let us celebrate the diverse tapestry of families—those who share our bloodlines and those who share our hearts.

And to our allies, including Parents, Families, and Friends of Le****ns and G**s, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your advocacy, compassion, and commitment help create a more inclusive world for all.

Dear ACVP Community,



As we embrace the vibrant canvas of cultures that make up our rich and diverse college, we are thrilled to join in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (running from September 15th to October 15th) and Indigenous People’s Day (October 9th). Both of these observances provide us with a unique opportunity to honor the countless contributions of Hispanic, Latinx, Native American, Alaska Native, and other Indigenous communities to the field of veterinary pathology and beyond.



Hispanic Heritage Month and Indigenous People’s Day are both times to reflect on the enduring legacies, diverse traditions, rich cultures, and remarkable achievements of individuals who have shaped our profession. From groundbreaking research and innovative discoveries to dedicated service and leadership, these diverse communities have played integral roles in advancing our discipline.


We encourage everyone to celebrate these occasions as opportunities to learn, share, and grow together. Whether through educational initiatives, discussions, or simply getting to know one another better, let's strengthen the bonds that make our profession a truly inclusive and supportive environment.


¡Viva la diversidad!

This episode on A Conversation in Veterinary Pathology - The A.C.V.P. Podcast, we interview Dr. Sebastian Carrasco, a Comparative Pathologist and assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the Laboratory of Comparative Pathology (LCP) of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medical College. Listen with us as we learn more about the multi-institutional postdoctoral Fellowship in Comparative and Genomic Pathology--a unique opportunity for veterinary pathology trainees after 2 years of an anatomic pathology residency. We also dive into Dr. Carrasco's pathology journey, teaching philosophy, previous Lyme disease research, and what he thinks are common characteristics of veterinary pathologists!We look forward to our conversation! #anatomicveterinarypathology #comparativemedicine #comparativepathology #veterinary #veterinarian #vetpath #veterinarypathology #volunteering #veterinarypathologist #seattle #acvp2024 #collaboration #vet #abstracts #annualmeeting #acvp #americancollegeofveterinarypathologists #learning #acvppodcast #nativeamericanheritagemonth
