Abstract

Disclosed is a method of detecting filarial larvae in blood. The method comprises preparing a measurement sample from a blood sample collected from an animal; flowing the prepared measurement sample through a flow cell; irradiating light on the measurement sample flowing through the flow cell; detecting light given off from the irradiated measurement sample; and detecting filarial larvae contained in the measurement sample based on characteristic parameter of the detected light.
