It’s a tough environment for koalas these days, but we don’t want to lose them. Could the study of koalas contribute to the development of better treatments for STIs? Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease in people, but when it claimed the lives of many koalas in Australia, no one ever knew it could have taken a deadly toll..
