      Solution

      The vaccine against chlamydia in koalas was developed after a decade of research at the University of the Sunshine Coast. It is the first of its kind globally, administered as a single-dose vaccine. Trials demonstrated that it reduces chlamydia symptoms and cuts mortality by 65% in wild koalas. This innovation addresses a disease that accounts for up to 50% of koala deaths, especially in Queensland and New South Wales, where infection rates can reach 70%.
