Use of electronic nose technology to identify cattle experimentally infected with Mycobacterium bovis:  A pilot study [abstract]. American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians. p. 49.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: Electronic nose technology has historically been utilized for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile compounds in air, soil, water, and for quality control in food, beverage and cosmetic industries.

Breath analysis has been used experimentally in humans and animals to identify bacterial infection, sepsis, and gastrointestinal, neoplastic, respiratory tract, and urinary tract diseases. The source of VOCs present in the breath of affected humans and animals is unknown, but may include the infectious organism, inflammation, tissue necrosis, or other host responses.

Study Objective:
Determine if sorbent sample collection and electric nose technology could be used to differentiate between cattle experimentally infected with Mycobacterium bovis and healthy cattle via identification of VOC biomarkers in breath.
