Highly sensitive scent-detection of COVID-19 patients in vivo by trained dogs

2021-06-07

Abstract excerpt

Timely and accurate diagnostics are essential to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, but no test satisfies both conditions. Dogs can scent-identify the unique odors of the volatile organic compounds generated during infection by interrogating specimens or, ideally, the body of a patient. After training 6 dogs to detect SARS-CoV-2 in human respiratory secretions (in vitro scent-detection), we retrained 5 of them to diagno...
