The data consists of two datasets with a small amount of replication between the two (identifiable from a combination of the Koala ID and Sample Date fields). These datasets were produced using funding from the NSW Koala Strategy and form the basis of two research papers. The first dataset consists of single time point samples from koalas either: 1) captured directly from the wild on the NSW mid-north coast; 2) sampled at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital after being rescued from danger; or 3) that were wild born exhibit koalas at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital or Port Stephens Koala Hospital. The dataset includes information on the koalas' KoRV profiles, chlamydia status and faecal glucocorticoid metabolites, as well as Mycoplasma spp., Ureaplasma spp. and Bordetella bronchiseptica status. For the wild caught koalas, a range of morphological and reproductive measures were also collected. The second dataset consists of repeat (temporal) measures of koala retrovirus profiles and faecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels over the course of a year for: 1) wild koalas involved in a chlamydia vaccine trial in south-east Queensland; 2) exhibit koalas at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital; and 3) koalas treated at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital or Currumbin Wildlife Hospital for Chlamydia.
