Funded Activity Summary

Koala retrovirus epidemic: genetic diversity, genome invasion and disease. This project aims to study the role the koala retrovirus (KoRV) plays in disease of koalas and the mechanisms of transmission in the advancing epidemic. This project aims to firstly, identify mechanisms that govern the rate of southerly dissemination for the ongoing KoRV epidemic and secondly, identify virulence factors that endow KoRV subtypes with distinct modes of transmission that contribute to disease outcome. Understanding the mechanisms behind this advancing epidemic will have important implications for conservation efforts.
