In the testing program, run by the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Medicine School, eight dogs will be able during the three weeks to sniff out the Coronavirus from samples of urine and saliva.
Dr. Cynthia Otto, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said in a statement that dogs already have the ability to smell other dangerous conditions.
Vulnerable cods can accurately detect low concentrations of unstable organic compounds, known as VOC, associated with various diseases such as ovary cancer, bacterial infections, and nose tumors. These VOCs are present in human blood, saliva, urine or breath, She said “.
The study hopes that dogs will be able to assist in treating pandemics, identifying patients with coronarys, even if they are asimtoptical.
Dr. Otto added that the potential influence of these dogs and their ability to detect Covid-19 could be essential.
This is not the first study to see if dogs can be able to sniff out coronary in patients, as in the United Kingdom, Durham University, along with charity Dogs Detection Medical and the School in London and Hygiena and Tropical Medicine, started studying the possibility last month.
According to a tracking project organised by Johns Hopkins University, there are now over one million people who have tested positively for the U.S. choreography. The death toll has reached at least 68,406.
