A significant threat to koala populations is infection from , which results in disease and death. Wild koalas with infections are admitted to wildlife hospitals and treated with antibiotics; however, up to 50% of koalas that present to wildlife hospitals do not survive. A major contributor to high mortality is the development of reproductive cysts, resulting in female infertility and euthanasia. However, the diagnosis of reproductive disease is limited to ultrasound with no further investigations. This communication highlights reports of histological and microbiological findings, the accuracy of ultrasound to necropsy reports and other possible causes for reproductive cyst development previously reported in other hosts. Our conclusions identify a significant knowledge gap in the aetiology of koala reproductive cysts and highlight the urgent need for future investigations.
考拉种群面临的一个重大威胁是感染[病原体名称未给出]，这会导致疾病和死亡。感染了[病原体名称未给出]的野生考拉会被送往野生动物医院并用抗生素治疗；然而，前往野生动物医院就诊的考拉中，高达50%无法存活。高死亡率的一个主要原因是生殖囊肿的形成，导致雌性不育并最终实施安乐死。然而，生殖疾病的诊断仅限于超声检查，没有进一步的调查。本通讯强调了组织学和微生物学研究结果的报告、超声检查与尸检报告的准确性，以及先前在其他宿主中报道的生殖囊肿形成的其他可能原因。我们的结论指出了考拉生殖囊肿病因学方面存在重大知识空白，并强调了未来进行调查的迫切需求。
