How are Amastigote Nests Identified in Histological Samples?
Identification of amastigote nests in histological samples involves several steps. Typically, tissue samples are stained using special techniques such as Giemsa stain, which helps in highlighting the parasites against the background of host tissues. Under a light microscope, amastigotes appear as small, round or oval organisms with a prominent nucleus and a rod-shaped kinetoplast, often found in clusters within host cells.
