The incremental value of tuberculosis detecting African giant pouched rats over Smear microscopy and Xpert MTB/RIF for Tanzanian TB detection.

The incremental value of tuberculosis detecting African giant pouched rats over Smear microscopy and Xpert MTB/RIF for Tanzanian TB detection.

<h4>Background</h4>Prior studies that used Anti-Persoonsmijnen Ontmijnende Product Ontwikkeling (APOPO)-trained African giant pouched rats reported an annual average of 40% increase in sputum-smear-positive tuberculosis (TB) detection. Sputum-smear microscopy (smear) is being replaced by...
