CLEAN : Rats sniff out Tuberculosis in Mozambique labs

The video discusses the use of giant pouch African rats, which are native to Africa and well-adapted to their environment. These rats are large, gentle, and easy to train, with a keen sense of smell that allows them to detect tuberculosis. They can identify samples that conventional microscopy might miss, leading to more accurate diagnoses. The results are reported back to healthcare providers for patient tracking.

What adaptations do giant pouch African rats have that make them suitable for their environment?

What health needs must be tracked for patients based on the results from the rats?
