Non-invasive health and pathogen monitoring
S.W.A.B. is an innovative tool for contact-free collection of wildlife biological samples at landscape scales.
Our saliva collector supports research on wildlife health by tracking changes in disease patterns, stress/welfare levels, and pathogen load of animals in response to environmental challenges like climate change and habitat loss.

S.W.A.B. will advance health monitoring of vertebrate wildlife in ecosystems across the world, provide data reflective of environmental health using wildlife as sentinels, and allow for near real-time assessment of pathogen spillover risk in areas that lack sophisticated laboratories and advanced wildlife handling capabilities.
