Zika virus in Bali
June 21, 2016
Indonesia is experiencing
sporadic transmission of the
mosquito-borne Zika virus,
according to a Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)
warning on smartraveller.gov.au.
The DFAT alert advises all
travellers to protect themselves
from mosquito bites although
the overall level of advice has not
changed with the need to exercise a
high degree of caution in Indonesia,
including Bali.
The aedes aegypti mosquito,
the Zika vector, is not uncommon
in Indonesia and is also well
established in North Queensland,
being well known for its
transmission of dengue, Ross River,
yellow and other fevers.
