I found rodents being trained to detect disease, explosives and humans a fascinating read.  There is almost unlimited potential when it comes to applications. For example:

  • Airport screening for explosives
  • Ports of entry for diseases of interest
  • Remote medicine where you pack in your rat detector for the endemic diseases
  • Building searches where service dogs are not available or circumstances prohibit their use
  • Illegal meth lab detection

What do you think?
