1. A parasite analysis system comprising:
a material reservoir configured to store a biological sample;
an imaging cell controllably connected to the material reservoir and configured to receive a portion of the biological sample from the material reservoir;
a camera configured to capture a chronological set of images of the portion of the biological sample in the imaging cell; and
an image analysis system configured to:
identify candidate patches in at least a subset of the chronological set of images that are candidates for depicting a parasite;
filter the candidate patches based on a comparison of locations of the candidates patches to locations of candidate patches in images immediately before and/or after the candidate patches;
generate, based on the filtered candidate patches, parasite counts for the subset of the chronological set of images, each parasite count indicating a number of parasites detected in a corresponding image of the chronological set of images; and
generate, based on the parasite counts, an estimate of a number of parasites in the portion of the biological sample, wherein the estimate of the number of parasites in the portion of the biological sample is based on the locations of the candidate patches that depict a parasite.
