Developing a chlamydial vaccine for koalas . This project aims to produce an optimised, safe, field-tested, protective Chlamydia vaccine for koalas. In many regions of Australia, Chlamydia infection severely reduces female koala reproductive rates, threatening the species’ long term survival. This project builds on work developing a prototype vaccine for koala Chlamydia, and intends to produce a vaccine ready for potential registration and use by koala care centres, wildlife hospitals and government departments.

为考拉开发衣原体疫苗。该项目旨在为考拉生产一种优化的、安全的、经过现场测试的保护性衣原体疫苗。在澳大利亚的许多地区，衣原体感染严重降低了雌性考拉的繁殖率，威胁到该物种的长期生存。该项目以考拉衣原体疫苗原型开发工作为基础，旨在生产一种疫苗，供考拉护理中心、野生动物医院和政府部门注册和使用。
