The Tasmanian Devil is subject to Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a fatal condition which causes cancerous tumours initially around the creature's mouth, which then spread to become quite large, affecting the whole face. It has resulted in greatly reduced numbers of Tasmanian Devils in the eastern half of the island. Currently (2008) the western half of the island's Tasmanian Devil population is still healthy and free from the disease. For more information, refer to the link below. Chlamydia psittaci, or Chlamydia, is a disease which threatens the Australian koala poopulation. It can cause conjunctivitis which can cause blindness, pneumonia, urinary tract infections and reproductive tract infections, which can cause female infertility.
