Dogs Detecting COVID-19 in Sweat Samples: Study Results

The study explores the ability of trained dogs to differentiate between sweat samples from symptomatic COVID-19 positive individuals and asymptomatic negative ones. Conducted with six dogs on samples from 177 participants, results showed success rates of 76% to 100%, highlighting their potential to detect COVID-19.

    Not just you. I recently reviewed a study on behavioral anthropology and can confirm. In fact, there is a species that shares most of our DNA that behaves more collectively and civilly than we do. https://t.co/mUlAFHAChU https://t.co/1kP4D0IMbv

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study compares the genomes of bonobos and chimpanzees to identify genes that have been positively selected in bonobos since their divergence about 17 million years ago, focusing on understanding behavioral differences such as social tolerance and aggression.
  • Researchers found evidence of selection in genes related to diet (like starch digestion) as well as in pathways involved in social behavior regulation, including oxytocin, serotonin, and gonadotropin releasing hormone.
  • These genetic findings support the idea that bonobos may have undergone a process similar to domestication, shaping their social behavior and emotional regulation in ways that distinguish them from chimpanzees.]
