Research on whether dogs can detect new corona infected people with the sense of smell
A dog called a "medical sniffer dog" could be used to identify people infected with the new coronavirus, or a charitable organization in the UK and a university research institute could start a joint study.
The British charity `` Medical Detection Dogs '' collaborated with the University of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, etc., to study if a specially trained dog can identify infected people with the new coronavirus Announced to start.
Some organizations say that they can use a sample of uninfected and uninfected people to find out if they can sniff, or use multiple dogs.
The group says that by making dogs remember the smell of patients with certain diseases, they have been able to distinguish a certain percentage of patients with cancer, malaria, Parkinson's disease, etc. This means that five dogs a day will be able to sniff out about 45,000 people.
"It is known that other respiratory illnesses can change our body's odor. If we get the new coronavirus and get a unique odor from our bodies," said Professor James Logan of the University of London. If it were, it would be possible to train to detect it. "
