Gaffney, Robbie Robbie.Gaffney@nre.tas.gov.au​Panther1966@live.com.au​​CC. Wildlife Services Driessen, Michael​Dear MichaelThankyou for your query regarding eDNA for Tasmanian tiger. Environmental DNA (via the company EnviroDNA) has been used in the past in Tasmania to assess for the presence of chytrid fungus in frogs and the presence of platypus. However, I am not aware of any current projects looking at environmental DNA in Tasmania to survey wildlife for any species. We are aware of the eDNA work that could potentially detect thylacines. If samples are collected in the future for eDNA purposes then it is possible that they may also be screened for thylacines.
