- •
Koala translocations are an accepted conservation tool.
- •
Translocation increases risks of infectious disease transmission.
- •
Disease transmission has not been analysed in the context of koala translocation.
- •
A range of translocation factors need to be considered for disease risk.
- •
We conclude that a significant risk of pathogen transfer can be mitigated.
