How are Parasitic Infections Detected in Histology?
Detection of parasitic infections in histology involves examining tissue samples under a microscope. Techniques like staining and special histochemical methods are employed to identify the parasites and the damage they cause to host tissues. Commonly used stains include Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Giemsa, and Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS).
