Abstract
We describe a simple, rapid molecular method for identifying man-eating carnivores. We designed mitochondrial control region based human-specific primers. These selectively amplify human DNA. We sequenced PCR amplicons and the presence of human remains was confirmed in two tiger scats collected in conflicting sites. PCR-based human-specific amplification with DNA extracted from scats is a confirmatory test for the presence of human remains. The protocol is useful in identifying man-eating carnivores.
