Inbreeding and resultant homozygosity across key inflammation and DNA repair genes linked to chlamydial infection in New South Wales koalas Open
Inbreeding and resultant homozygosity can reduce genetic diversity and increase disease susceptibility. Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are one species suffering genomic diversity loss and inbreeding and concurrent significant disease pres…

New insights into the range and transmission dynamics of a koala gammaherpesvirus, phascolarctid gammaherpesvirus 2 Open
The recent classification of the koala to endangered across most of its range has emphasised the urgent need for enhanced disease surveillance. Little is known about the distribution and clinical significance of phascolarctid gammaherpesvi…

The CARD9 Gene in Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus): Does It Play a Role in the Cryptococcus–Koala Interaction? Open
Cryptococcus is a genus of fungal pathogens that can infect and cause disease in a range of host species and is particularly prominent in koalas (Phascolarctos cinerus). Like other host species, koalas display a range of outcomes upon expo…

Expanding the known distribution of phascolartid gammaherpesvirus 1 in koalas to populations across Queensland and New South Wales Open
Koala populations across the east coast of Australia are under threat of extinction with little known about the presence or distribution of a potential pathogen, phascolartid gammaherpesvirus 1 (PhaHV-1) across these threatened populations…

Evaluation of a biosecurity survey approach for contamination by <i>Chlamydia pecorum</i> in koala rehabilitation, field capture, and captive settings Open
Transmission of Chlamydia pecorum between koalas is a potential risk in field capture or rehabilitation settings, where koalas are held in proximity to each other, or equipment is shared between animals. Given the impact of C. pecorum on k…

A retrospective study on antibacterial treatments for koalas infected with Chlamydia pecorum Open
Chlamydiosis remains the leading infectious disease and is one of the key factors responsible for the dramatic reduction of koala populations in South-East Queensland (SEQ) and New South Wales (NSW) regions of Australia. Possible infection…

Development of diagnostic and point of care assays for a gammaherpesvirus infecting koalas Open
The recent listing of koala populations as endangered across much of their range has highlighted the need for better management interventions. Disease is a key threat to koala populations but currently there is no information across the th…

Evolutionarily Young African Rhinoceros Gammaretroviruses Open
Rhinoceros genomes were thought to be devoid of gammaretroviruses, as has been determined for other perissodactyls (horses, tapirs, and rhinoceros). While this may be true of most rhinoceros, the African white and black rhinoceros genomes …

Mosquito-borne heartworm Dirofilaria immitis in dogs from Australia Open
The prevalence of canine heartworm in Australia remains poorly understood. It is generally assumed to be low by veterinary practitioners. The localised increase in the study area confirms endemism of canine heartworm and a requirement for …

Novel genotype of<i>Tritrichomonas foetus</i>from cattle in Southern Africa Open
SUMMARY Bovine trichomonosis caused by Tritrichomonas foetus is a significant reproductive disease of cattle. Preputial samples were collected using sheath washing technique in bulls in Namibia. Thirty-six trichomonad cultures were charact…
