Optimising clinical outcomes for koalas

While I've been busy meeting all the joeys from the last year, the first paper from my PhD was published. Enjoy! https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0209679

I've also been getting some interesting data in the lab and I can't wait to share it with you once I've finished my analysis, so stay tuned.

About This Project

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.

Blast off!
