How Does Histology Contribute to Research on Infectious Diseases?
In the context of infectious diseases, histology plays a crucial role in identifying the presence and impact of pathogens on tissues. Techniques such as special staining and IHC can detect bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites within tissue samples. This helps in diagnosing infections, understanding the pathogenesis, and evaluating the tissue response to the infectious agent. Histological studies are also instrumental in developing vaccines and therapeutic interventions.
