This is from the article...

"Diagnosis is made readily with the IDEXX Snap heartworm antigen test. I have used the IDEXX test for about thirteen years and it has proved to be extremely useful."

There's more on the topic, and I'd suggest checking out the article at the link I gave. Being a Florida vet, I believe Dr. Kemmerer knows as much about heartworms in ferrets as anyone.
