Using this technique, scientists should be able to study the infected neurons for several months, enabling longer-term studies of neuron functions and connections.
This methodology can, with some margin of error, uncover and develop hypotheses about what circumstances, practices and strategies protect people from infection by comparing outwardly-high-risk people who are not infected with those who are infected with the emphasis being to study how the uninfected controls differ from the infected cases.
To detect specific antigens in the infected tissues, immunohistochemistry was employed to study a series of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens that included brain, lung, spleen, liver, heart, lymph node, tonsil, and kidney [50].

An estimated 1.4 million inmates released from jail or prison in 1996 were infected with hepatitis C, according to a study released at a conference sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Protection.
Investigating the parasite directly from infected patients is the best way to study its biology and pathogenic mechanisms.
For transmission studies, two ferrets were infected as described and housed individually in separate cages.
For the in vivo studies, BALB/c mice were infected subcutaneously (s.c).
Not unexpectedly a high proportion (66%) of the patients in this study were HIV-infected, a figure which is similar to studies of patients with extra-pulmonary TB in other high endemic African countries [ 45, 46].
