Description
Summary:Chlamydial infections pose a significant threat to koala populations. ( ) remains the major chlamydial species affecting koala health, both in the wild and in captivity, and chlamydial infections are considered important factors affecting the long-term survival of koalas. A clear understanding of chlamydial infections, including the epidemiology, transmission mode, pathogenesis, immune response, control, and prevention thereof, is essential for improving the management of chlamydial infections in koalas. In this study, we discuss the important advances made in our understanding of infection in koalas, focusing on the epidemiology of chlamydial infections, and the transmission, pathogenesis, immune response, and control strategies for chlamydial infection, with the aim of improving koala health and achieving effective conservation strategies.
