Detection of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 by Naïve Dogs: Feasible in Controlled Tasks but Envisioned as Limited for Public Screening

2025-10-31

Abstract excerpt

Dogs can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with infectious diseases, but their ability to distinguish between symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections has not been fully established. In this study, eight naïve dogs began training with either symptomatic or asymptomatic Delta samples; seven reached the testing phase and were then evaluated on the alternate group to assess cross-generaliz...
