DOGS COULD HELP DETECT CORONA VIRUS!
Yes, canines are being trained to sniff out Covid-19!
After Criminals, Landmines / Bombs, Drugs, and Trapped Humans under earthquake layers, dogs can now potentially help detect the new novel Coronavirus.
Medical Detection Dogs are already used to help screen for a range of conditions including Cancer, Malaria and Parkinson's, could detect with extremely high accuracy – above the World Health Organization standards for a diagnostic.
The training involves the dogs being given corona virus patients' face masks to sniff to discover COVID-19 unique odor that can be identified by a dog's enhanced senses of smell as other respiratory diseases change our body odor.
When resources and testing kits are low, hundreds of people can't be tested in one go. But the dogs can screen up to 750 people really quickly. By identifying those who need to be tested and self-isolate, they can stop the spread. It’s also believed, they can locate not only asymptomatic super spreaders, also would help prevent the re-emergence of the disease after we have brought the present Pandemic / Epidemic under control.
READ MORE: DOGS – HOW THEY TRACE THE SCENT?
You would always have wondered how a dog traces a culprit. But have you ever thought how it does so with utmost accuracy?
The Canine intellect often tends to be a better judge of character than that of its human counterpart
Do you know which helps the dog in this function? It is only the best exploitation of the olfactory system of a dog. It is the Perineal Gland located at about 6 inches near to the anus which helps in the olfactory recognition of a dog. The Turbinate bone inside the nostrils of the dog is more well developed than that of any other species which also adds to this effect. The dog is able to distinguish a particular scent among those of many individuals.
