The koala does not transmit any diseases to humans. However, they do spread disease within their own populations. A major threat to the koala populations of Australia is the organism chlamydia, which has four major effects:
- blindness
- pneumonia
- urinary tract infection
- reproductive tract infections, ultimately rendering animals infertile.
Scientists are still working on a cure, as this disease is easily spread, and decimating some of the populations on the mainland.
