The goal of this study was to get a better understanding of the transmission of Chlamydia in Koalas in Queensland Australia. In addition, this research will later be used to help create a vaccine in order to help the rapidly declining populations of koalas. Currently, koala populations are being decimated throughout Australia due to Chlamydia and not much is being done to assist the koalas in fighting this disease. The research team wanted to get an idea of how prevalent Chlamydia was in the populations of koalas around Queensland Australia. They hoped that the information gained from this can help in fighting the proliferation of this disease.
