Animal use in detection of disease within pediatric populations

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..

There is a need for novel techniques for disease detection in humans. Research has shown that using animals for detection of disease is a promising area of study. A literature review was conducted using the terms animals, disease detection, seizures, epilepsy, infectious disease, cancer, and pediatrics to determine the published literature to date of the use of animals in detection of disease. Research studies between 1999-2022 were included in this article. The published studies demonstrate that animals have been used for disease detection in seizures, infectious diseases, Type I diabetes mellitus, and cancer. However, these studies have predominantly focused on the adult patient population. There is limited data available regarding the use of animals in disease detection within pediatrics, which warrants further research into this topic.
