Canine ‘Bello’, a springer spaniel, interrogating citrus trees arranged in a 10 × 10 grid. Canine alerts by sitting next to the CLas-positive tree, i.e. target. This activity is repeated by re-randomizing locations of CLas-positive trees within the grid for both training and to test each canine for detection accuracy.
