Patent number: 11741731Abstract: A parasite analysis system includes a pressure vessel configured to store a biological sample, an imaging cell connected to the pressure vessel, and a waste depository connected to the imaging cell. An input valve controls whether biological sample can flow from the pressure vessel into the imaging cell and an output valve controls whether biological sample can flow from the imaging cell into the waste depository. The parasite analysis system also includes a camera that captures a chronological set of images of a portion of the biological sample in the imaging cell and an image analysis system that analyzes the chronological set of images to generate an estimate of a number of parasites in the portion of the biological sample. Estimates for multiple portions of the biological sample may be generated and sampling techniques used to estimate the number of parasites in the entire biological sample.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Intervet Inc.Inventors: Pavel Vácha, Petr Jankuj, Richard Josef Marhoefer, Václav Belák, Jind{hacek over (r)}ich Soukup, Brunhilde Schölzke, Britta von Oepen
