“…Animal bites are a significant issue for Australian travellers to Bali. 12,21 Rabies emerged in dogs in Bali in 2008, 22 and although there have been no proven monkey deaths from rabies in Bali, they remain a threat to transmit the virus. Of the 29 patients who presented to the ED for rabies PEP following an animal bite, 90% were bitten by monkeys.…”

“…11 Indonesia is the most frequently reported country of dengue acquisition for Australians, 4 and since the emergence of rabies in Bali in 2008, returned travellers from Bali account for a significant proportion of those seeking rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). 12 To our knowledge, there have been no previous studies evaluating the spectrum of illness seen in Australian travellers returning from Bali. Understanding the epidemiology and clinical presentation of this spectrum of illness has the potential to assist clinicians in evaluating unwell travellers returning from Bali and guide provision of pre-travel advice.…”

“…Despite the popularity of Bali as a travel destination, literature describing illnesses in returned Australian travellers from Bali is limited, consisting mainly of case reports and case series describing illnesses such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, measles, scrub typhus, murine typhus, Japanese encephalitis and fascioliasis . Indonesia is the most frequently reported country of dengue acquisition for Australians, and since the emergence of rabies in Bali in 2008, returned travellers from Bali account for a significant proportion of those seeking rabies post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP) …”

This is the first study to use a text mining approach to identify and describe ED presentations related to diseases acquired in Bali by Australian travellers. While infections are important causes of illness, trauma and animal bites account for a significant number of hospital presentations. Our findings contribute to knowledge on the health risks for travellers to Bali, and will assist clinicians in relevant pre- and post-travel evaluations. This article is protected by copyright.

“…Human exposure to bats is common and increasing, with >100 residents requiring PEP each year in New South Wales alone. 6 Typical scenarios include unvaccinated civilians attempting to rescue injured or sick bats, or children whose behaviour puts them at risk. Exposure to bat blood, urine or faeces is not considered an infection risk for ABLV.…”

AUSTRALIAN BAT LYSSAVIRUS (ABLV) is regarded as endemic in Australian bats. It is one of 14 known lyssavirus species 1 and causes human illness that is indistinguishable from classical rabies. It has resulted in three known human deaths in Australia since 1996. 2 All Australian bats have the potential to carry and transmit ABLV, and potentially risky human exposures to bats are common. Timely post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is critical to prevent ABLV disease. ABLV in bats ABLV was first identified in an encephalitic black flying fox in Queensland, Australia, in 1996. 3 Subsequently, ABLV has been identified in all four mainland species of flying fox and one species of insectivorous microbat, with serological evidence of ABLV exposure in a range of microbat species. 4 The overall prevalence of ABLV in bats is estimated to be <1% in healthy bats, and 5-10% in sick, injured or orphaned bats. 4,5 Clinical signs of ABLV infection in bats include aggression, paralysis, respiratory difficulties, unusual vocalisation, inability to fly, tremors and convulsions. However, infected bats may appear healthy and behave normally.
