Is it true that koalas in Australia carry Chlamydia pecorum bacteria, which causes blindness and infertility?
Unclear. Peer-reviewed sources confirm that Chlamydia pecorum infects koalas in Australia and that chlamydiosis can produce blindness and infertility among possible outcomes, but no retrieved item states the claim at full strength that the bacteria cause blindness and infertility as a settled, general fact.
