Health authorities are increasingly worried about the potential spread of a rare and deadly infection called the Nipah virus from India to the famous Aussie tourist destination of Bali.

The Nipah virus originates in fruit bats and can cause severe illness in humans, including symptoms like fever, headaches, muscle pain, vomiting, and a sore throat. In severe cases, it can lead to encephalitis and seizures, even resulting in a coma.

However, some infected individuals remain asymptomatic.

This virus was first discovered in 1999 during an outbreak in Malaysia and Singapore, which sadly led to nearly 300 human cases and over 100 fatalities. To control the outbreak, more than one million pigs were culled.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Nipah virus has a high case fatality rate, estimated to be between 40 to 75 per cent. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or drugs for its treatment.

Nipah virus was first identified this year in the Indian state of Kerala in late May, with at least five confirmed cases and two fatalities.

This virus spreads through close contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals, contaminated food, or direct contact with fruit bats carrying the virus.

It's worth noting that the World Health Organisation has not reported any new cases of Nipah virus in Kerala since September 15th, which offers some reassurance in this regard.

With Indians being the second largest group of tourists in Bali after Australians, health authorities are on high alert about Nipah spreading to the tropical island.

'In accordance with the Ministry of Health's directive, we must remain vigilant regarding the Nipah virus threat,' said I Nyoman Gee Anom, Head of the Bali Provincial Health Service.

Bali airports have now implemented mandatory temperature checks for all arriving passengers. Medical specialists will immediately isolate and assess anyone with a fever or recent travel to an infected area.

'A team of neurologists, surgeons, and so on have been prepared because the virus can attack the brain,' explained Mr Anom.

So, for those planning to travel to Bali anytime soon and coming from places known to have Nipah virus cases, consider this your heads up that you might be screened upon arrival in the tropical country.

'If a tourist is found to have a body temperature above normal, it will prompt further inquiry,' Mr Anom explained.

'We must maintain vigilance due to the incubation period, which may mean a lack of fever upon arrival at the airport.'

Yet another reason not to travel.
No hugging, kissing, coughing and no bat cuddling.
If you insist on travelling overseas, for goodness sake, wear a mask and sanitise.

and people still keep going to places like that and bring the illnesses back here
whyspend all that money and risk their health when they could spend a lot less and watch tourist videos of places, but no, they need to be able to show off and say "we have been there" and then show the photos and videos of the same things that everyone else has got, just flaunting snobbery I reckon

Nothing beats catching a dose of cholera through your own stupidity. Bringing it back home is double bonus points. New viruses get triple bonus points. People don't care about others.

There's nothing snobby about going to Bali, half the bogans in the country go there.

There are a lot of people who like to put Bali down when theyve never been there. You can't make derogatory comments about something or somewhere that you have no first hand knowledge about .
I've been going to Bali for years.
The Balinese people are lovely people, you have absolutely beautiful scenery, lively beaches.
The accommodation is so reasonable and the food extremely cheap.
I was there only a few months ago, stayed at the same place I always go to, took my best friend with me as a celebration if our 50 years of friendship.
The accommodation cost me $470 for seven nights in a beautiful bungalow, breakfast included and we spent about $20 a day each on food.
The cab from the airport to Ssnur cost $12.
I don't know where these people are
staying, eating etc, or where they got their transport from, must have hired a limo.

My daughter and her husband are loving it. My son and his family love it although one son didn't. I think I need a holiday either to Bali or the Cook Islands

 

[magpie1]

When authorities in Bali are warning tourists visiting the country about a deadly virus that is spreading there and people say that many many Australian bogans, amongst other Australian visitors too, go there on a regular basis......why do I sense a feeling of apprehension after hearing that I wonder ?....perhaps it's just a bit of nostalgia kicking in about the last situation we had with Covid I guess. Anyway folks consider digging out your old masks again if you plan visiting Bali and definitely stay away from Bats full stop.

 

[marni]

Spend your money at home and buy local then you are supporting someone to send their child to ballet class or their children through school here. If you want support third world countries - send a donation but do not encourage intercountry health problems. Yes I have been there and glad I didn't bring back any diseases - the monkey mountain is full of different diseases that we don't have. The people are lovely. Fortunately they are checking temperatures of people coming in - but notice not of people returning to their country. Hopefully our government will instigate arrival checking, although as stated some are asymptomatic.

yep @marni agree with you about the fact that we should be checking people arriving from Bali......if it is as deadly as they say......temperature checks at least seem the most appropriate at this stage of the game. Hope that our Officials are on the ball, right from the start.......especially when you consider how the last virus first started.
