Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

Biochemical Reference Intervals of Free‐Ranging Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) in South Australia

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 300-308, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Reference intervals (RIs) are an essential tool for assessment of clinical pathology data of animals, and are particularly important for monitoring the health status of free‐ranging and captive wildlife, such as koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus). Objectives The purpose of this study was to: (1) provide comprehensive serum biochemistry

Factors that influence the decision to release rehabilitated koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) to fire‐affected home sites

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 8, Page 464-474, August 2025.
This study appraises recent research to critically evaluate knowledge on the factors that influence decisions around the release of rehabilitated koalas to fire‐affected home sites. Availability of koala release sites could be compromised at times in the future by the increasing incidence of large and intense bushfires due to climate change.

Cryptococcal meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans VNI in a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) with progressive neurological disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 8, Page 487-493, August 2025.
Nearly all cases of cryptococcosis in koalas are caused by Cryptococcus gattii species complex. A rare case of meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans VNI/AFLP1 (abbreviated VNI) is described in a koala with nasal colonisation by both species complexes.

Brucellosis and chlamydiosis seroprevalence in goats at livestock–wildlife interface areas of Zimbabwe

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2019
In Zimbabwe, there have been no chlamydiosis and limited brucellosis studies in goats. This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of the two diseases in goats at three different livestock–wildlife interface areas: porous ...

Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) and Stemflow: Drinking More Than Just Water

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Stemflow, water that flows down the outside of tree stems during precipitation events, is a type of free water used by koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) for drinking, alongside the moisture obtained from the Eucalyptus leaves consumed in their diet. The properties of stemflow in the context of its utilisation by animals are currently unknown. In
