ABSTRACT:
Methods for detecting a malaria parasite are described that include: releasing the malaria parasite by allowing an erythrocyte in a specimen to undergo hemolysis; staining the released malaria parasite with a fluorescent dye to prepare a measurement sample; detecting optical information from the measurement sample; and distinguishing the malaria parasite based on the optical information obtained. Apparatuses and reagent kits are also described.
