Covid-19 Detecting Dogs
Dogs can already detect low concentrations
of volatile organic compounds
associated with diseases
including ovarian cancer, bacterial
infections and nasal tumors. These
VOCs are found in blood, saliva and
urine samples.
Soon, detecting COVID-19 might
only be a snort away. In a recently
published University of Helsinki study,
Finnish researchers discovered that
dogs were capable of recognizing the
distinctive odor of a coronavirus infection
in urine samples. Soon, they hope
the pooches will be able to detect the
infection at airports, nursing homes
and other high-risk areas.
University of Pennsylvania’s School
of Veterinary Medicine announced a
pilot training program at the end of
April using eight scent detection dogs
to detect the differences between
samples from COVID-19 positive and
COVID-19 negative patients. “The potential
impact of these dogs and their
capacity to detect COVID-19 could be
substantial. This study will harness the
dog’s extraordinary ability to support
the nation’s COVID-19 surveillance
systems, with the goal of reducing
community spread,” said Cynthia Otto,
professor of Working Dog Sciences
and Sports Medicine and director of
Penn Vet’s Working Dog Center, in
the release.
