Koala translocations and Chlamydia: Managing risk in the effort to conserve native species

2016-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Translocation of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) has been a controversial measure that has been utilised for over a century in the southern states of Australia. Recently, translocation has been suggested as an option in the management of some declining northern koala populations. Infectious diseases present within donor and recipient populations are important factors that must be considered when planning any wi...
