Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining is commonly used to identify cysticerci in tissue sections. The H&E stain helps in differentiating the parasite from the surrounding host tissue. The larval structures, including the scolex, can be visualized clearly using this staining technique. Additionally, special stains like Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) may be used to highlight the glycogen-rich areas within the cyst.
