These rats are saving lives — by detecting #tuberculosis (TB).

At #APOPO, our trained #HeroRATs use their powerful sense of smell to detect TB in patient samples, helping find missed cases and speed up diagnosis.

Small animals. Huge impact.

It's Thursday, I can smell the weekend from here!

They might have poor vision, but they have an incredibly sensitive nose. #HeroRATs use their sense of smell to save lives—finding landmines, detecting TB, and more.

Did you know that #HeroRATs are nocturnal? That's why we work with them in the cool hours of the morning like this team in Preah Vihear #Cambodia. Integrating detection rats speeds up finding landmines so we can safely destroy them.
