The olfactory function <strong>of</strong> dog noses is very sensible <strong>an</strong>d<br />
m<strong>an</strong>ifold higher th<strong>an</strong> that <strong>of</strong> hum<strong>an</strong>s. Therefore dogs are<br />
able to detect drugs, explosives, fire acceler<strong>an</strong>ts,<br />
persons, cadavers, exotic <strong>an</strong>imals <strong>an</strong>d more. The<br />
adv<strong>an</strong>tage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dogs is that <strong>the</strong>y do not need to see<br />
<strong>an</strong>y symptoms directly, but for <strong>the</strong>m it is enough to get a<br />
slight scent <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anoplophora</strong> to have a closer “look”/<br />
“sniff” to <strong>the</strong> area where <strong>the</strong> scent comes from until <strong>the</strong>y<br />
will f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> scent source directly. Therefore hidden<br />
<strong>in</strong>fested trees or tree parts (hidden by bushes, st<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g<br />
nettles, <strong>an</strong>d blackberries) could be detected more easily.<br />
