COVID-19 detection dogs can also detect long COVID-19 in people, according to new research by veterinarians in Germany.

These symptoms can include headaches, breathlessness and a variety of cognitive dysfunction.A recent study by a research team from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in Germany shows that dogs previously trained with samples from COVID-19-infected individuals can recognize samples from post-COVID-19 patients.Previous scientific examination revealed that specialized dogs could identify samples of people suffering from acute COVID-19.

"We think that further long COVID research involving medical detection dogs should be carried out based on our results," said Professor Holger Volk, head of the university's Clinic for Small Animals. People hold their masks for One Betta, a Dutch Shepard, to sniff for the scent of COVID-19 at Miami International Airport on September 8, 2021, in Miami. Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover recently found that canines specialized in sniffing out the SARS-CoV-2 virus were also able to determine samples of patients suffering from long COVID effects.Trained detection dogs are increasingly deployed in medical research.

"This study result could lead to optimized therapies. It might also lead to a better understanding of complex infectious diseases."
