TOURISTS travelling to Bali will be screened for a deadly virus, health bosses have announced.<\/p>\n

Officials fear the country could face an outbreak of the killer disease \u2014 which is currently spreading in India, Bangladesh and the Philippines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All travellers, including Brits, will have their temperatures checked at airports when arriving in the Indonesian province over fears around the Nipah virus that is spread by bats.<\/p>\n

People coming in from affected areas with any symptoms, including a raised temperature or chest infection, will be taken to hospital immediately to be checked.<\/p>\n

I Nyoman Gee Anom, Bali\u2019s chief health officer, told the Bali Sun: \u201cIn accordance with directions from the Ministry of Health we must be alert to the threat of the Nipah virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the airport there is a temperature detection device. If a tourist\u2019s temperature is found to be above normal, it will be followed up with an interview.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nipah virus causes an infection that attacks the brain and can cause deadly encephalitis \u2014 brain swelling.<\/p>\n

It is spread by fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, pigs and humans, and is most prevalent in India and Bangladesh normally.<\/p>\n

Symptoms include fever, breathing difficulties, headaches, a sore throat and vomiting.<\/p>\n

There are currently no treatments or vaccines for the virus, which kills up to 75 per cent of people it infects.<\/p>\n

The latest outbreak is mostly affecting Kerala in India, where two people have died.<\/p>\n

No cases have yet been spotted in Bali, but officials are preparing a response plan if the worst should happen.<\/p>\n

Anom said: \u201cEspecially for Nipah virus, a team of neurologists, surgeons, and so on have been prepared because the virus can attack the brain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be careful because many Indian tourists go to Bali. I\u2019m afraid because there is a certain incubation period, maybe you don\u2019t have a fever at the airport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 28,000 Brits travelled to Bali in August, the fifth highest influx from any country.<\/p>\n

Some 13 UK tourists were booted out the country in September because of problem behaviour, under a new crackdown on westerners breaching the country\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Office does not currently have any new warnings in place about Brits travelling to Bali.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization has not confirmed any new cases in Kerala since September 15.<\/p>\n
