Booster shot being developed to avoid recapturing koalas to fight Chlamydia disease
Researchers at QUT are revolutionizing koala health with a cutting-edge booster vaccine using implant technology. This innovation aims to combat the deadly Chlamydia disease, a major cause of death for Australian koalas. Unlike traditional methods that require recapturing or holding koalas for a second immunization, this implant-based solution streamlines the process, benefiting both the animals and wildlife handlers. The vaccine, similar in size to a pet microchip, releases the booster at a strategically timed interval. Led by Professor Ken Beagley, this project marks a significant leap in safeguarding koala populations and minimizing human interference in their natural habitats.
