APOPO trains sniffer rats to detect explosives and diagnose disease. This unusual idea has been developed into a competitive technology by a group of Belgian and Tanzanian researchers and animal trainers. This video demonstrates the use of sniffer rats to detect tuberculosis in human sputum samples. This method is far more cost-effective and efficient than other methods, including using lab technicians.

Wow. This is amazing. I had a pet rat for a while--they are such smart animals, so trainable, so sociable. This is such a brilliant idea. Congratulations.
Impressive. Whomever came up with the idea of using rats for de-mining and detecting TB deserves some sort of accolade - I used to keep rats, and I was aware they are extremely intelligent and very trainable, but this...wow.
You people are heroes to me. I am very proud of what you have accomplished. I will try to convince my school to adopt a few of your darlings so you are able to safe more lives. Every life is precious. Big kiss from Martin in China.
