In a pioneering project in Mozambique, rats are being trained to diagnose Tuberculosis - by learning to associate the smell of TB with a reward. They can work their way through more samples in 15 minutes than a lab technician can in a whole day. (Photo: Rats can smell 70 samples in 15 minutes. Credit: Junior Tierbild Archive/ Photoshot)
