Chlamydia is spreading through Australia's koala population, posing a threat that wildlife experts say could wipe out the iconic marsupial across large parts of the country.

in March 2018 found that of 291 koalas examined over four years, 18% had died of chlamydia or related complications.Climate change is making the problem worse

Experts say they have witnessed similar rapid explosions of disease in the wild. Krockenberger said in his Gunnedah sample population, a series of heatwaves and droughts in 2009 and 2010 preceded a doubling of chlamydia cases. "All that leads to poor chlamydia response. It gets them from low grade chlamydia infections to more serious disease," he said.Chlamydia vaccine trials for koalasA chlamydia vaccine, developed by researcher Timms over the past decade,among the country's koala population as a way to protect the animals from serious infections.

"We know the vaccine can reduce the infection rate," Timms said. "It doesn't reduce it to zero. There are no vaccines that do that, but it quashes the infection load way down." He said instead the hope is that by reducing the levels of infectiousness in koalas with chlamydia, researchers will be able to prevent the disease from spreading to new hosts and thereby maintain a breeding population.

Koalas have had chlamydia for a very long time I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with “climate change”

Yes climate change

Koalas are also incapable of eating anything other than eucalyptus leafs eventhough there's very little nutritional value. They're animal that'll go extinct on their own... kinda like pandas

Lol.

What a hilarious headline... falls into the category of I can’t make this up! Whoever wrote this basket of lies needs to get off the crack pipe.

Oh know. The koalas.

Cant refute this: the article states “Experts say…” so it must be 100% true.

Chlamydophilosis, also called'chlamydiosis' or 'Parrot Fever', is a common disease of birds. It can occur in any bird but is especially common in cockatiels, which are in Australia. I bet it's spurred by poop on leaves, if this is possible, then a spray design vaccine is too.

WWF wwf_uk WWF_Australia y’all should be doing something about the Koalas

Koalas have had chlamydia for many years, long before climate change was the woke trend

How are they related?

Koala bears are dying from an STD?

DistortBot

Red herring

Climate Change It's not just about sexual partners. Be informed. Stay safe. jordanbpeterson

LastWeekTonight has tried to raise awareness of this issue!

How pathetic. Now the climate alarmists at are trying to cute guilt us into believing their BS.

There is alot of animals suffering over climate change. Its truly sad.....Prime example of the toxic vermin that caused it. Read the comments. Blame government or whomever. WE are the planet's parasites

Climate change. Responsible for (according to some article):the civil war in Syria. Koalas dying from chlamydia.Forest fires.Hurricanes. Coming next: inflation. War between Israel and the Palestinians. And the lack of toilet paper at the start of Covid.

Climate change BS, geological cycles shows that climate change is a hoax

Spreading lies is bad, you know.

You know someone is going to try to use this to get outta cheating......'honestly baby it was climate change that gave me an STD. I think it gave one to your best friend too.'

Better institute a chlamydia tax. That’ll fix it

Maybe they are having too much sex.

I have fckn jungle bum again, damn climate change.

babcia54 Bad news

Koalas are probably riddled with S.T.I'S due to all the Degenerates in control of our so called Medical system. If Fauchi can deliberatly torture Dogs to death in the name of Science, what else is the community capable of? Sadly, a lot!

🧐🧐🧐

Hahahahaha this is awesome!! Just what I needed on a Sunday night. KEEP BRINGING IT CTV!! You guys rock.

Yeah right that makes sense you guys are stupid

Don’t Koalas already have chlamydia?

Climate change is making an STD worse?

There’s a tax for that.

Them koalas gotta learn to keep it in their pouches!!

Carbon tax will fix that right up.

Are people really stupid enough to believe this shit? 😂😂😂

Maybe that explains JustinTrudeau's obsession with climate change.

Where is JustinTrudeau apology for this, dammit?

Happened to me too

Oh ffs

What white supremacy can’t do, climate change does. Both ubiquitous…..
