First results obtained by a German and a French team, using new medical biology olfactory tests, show that trained DOI of original article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.banm.2020.09.018. The French study of the National Veterinary School of Alfort (projet NOSAÏS), using axillary sweat considered as non-contaminating, obtained similar results with 8 dogs and 368 tests: 4 dogs were 100% effective, the other 4 were 83%, 84%, 90% and 94% effective [4] . Given the promising results of these various olfactory tests obtained with dogs trained in respect of animal welfare, the National Academy of Medicine and the Veterinary Academy of France recommend: ./cache/cord-333462-h6czvcyq.txt ./txt/cord-333462-h6czvcyq.txt
