I've been busy in the lab this week extracting DNA from some swabs that have already been collected (some might say, the 'less glamorous' side of my research). Each of these little tubes hold a piece of the puzzle though. Now I need to run them through the qPCR machine and see how much Chlamydia is inside!

Northern koala populations have declined rapidly in the last two decades and localised extinctions are predicted. Both habitat degradation and chlamydial disease are threats to koala conservation. Like humans and other animals, only some infected koalas develop chlamydial disease and we don't know why. We'll investigate whether habitat quality is a key factor in determining disease progression, and whether a synergistic interaction between these threats is exacerbating declines.
