Australia begins vaccinating wild koalas against chlamydia
Fox News
Australia has begun vaccinating koalas in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales to prevent the spread of a disease that’s causing infertility, blindness, and death.
"It’s killing koalas because they become so sick they can’t climb trees to get food, or escape predators, and females can become infertile," said Samuel Phillips, a microbiologist at the University of the Sunshine Coast who helped to develop the vaccine.
