The investigation is expected to yield results very soon and thus be able to advance with the treatment against the coronavirus

Asymptomatic patients have still been difficult to detect around the world, which is why trained dogs could identify people infected with coronavirus who do not have symptoms.
Trained dogs capable of detecting malaria and different types of cancer have begun to be investigated so that they can sniff out asymptomatic patients carrying coronavirus.

Researchers from Durham University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have begun collaborating with the non-governmental organization Medical Detection Dogs, to identify whether dogs trained to detect other viruses may be able to find asymptomatic patients carriers of coronavirus.
The UK Health Department stated that the intention of this research is to discover if trained dogs capable of detecting certain types of cancer and specifically malaria, can be trained to detect asymptomatic patients who have coronavirus, since they are the ones who They have not taken preventive measures and continue to spread the virus everywhere by not being treated.
About six Cocker Spaniels and Labradors have begun training by the researchers. It was revealed that in the first phase of the investigation, managers will look for odor samples from people who are infected with coronavirus and also from those who are not. This is to make the dogs capable of detecting infected people but who do not have symptoms.
The research has raised great expectations and it is expected that satisfactory results will be found quickly because many of the asymptomatic people in the world could be infecting others and spreading the virus.
England is one of the countries that has taken the most preventive measures in months but has still been one of the most affected. This research is expected to reach very effective results quickly.
