Could this also translate to "Julia does not have a fever"? I know the "ek" isn't present, but I don't usually hear people omit the "a" in English.

Sadly, that's not possible, because the option "The English sentence is unnatural or has an error" is not offered.
If it's a typing exercise and your English translation isn't accepted, you can report it as "my translation should be accepted." I was able to report it this way.

That was not on offer either. There were three boxes one could check. One had to do with the sound, I can't remember the second, and the third was "The Hindi sentence is unnatural or has an error."

The literal translation is 'To Julia there is no fever'. There are a few phrases that use this 'ko' construction: others that come to mind are 'zukam' (to have a cold), 'maalum' (to understand/know) and 'pasand' (to like), eg. 'Julia ko zukam hai' (Julia has a cold or 'To Julia there is a cold'); 'Julia ko yah pasand hai' (Julia likes this, or 'To Julia, this is pleasing').
It's quite annoying, I am constantly marked wrong for forgetting 'a' and 'the' and here it's fine to do so!

The English use of determiners can be quite confusing, especially if your native language doesn't use determiners.
Yes, my native is Lithuanian, so we have no such thing! And I'm learning here Hindi, not English.. makes me go crazy:)

I felt something similar when I did Catalan and Guarani from Spanish (not my best language). If you are going to translate something from one language to another, though, I suppose you should translate it into a proper sentence. At least it did help my Spanish.
Does the fever is countable quantity..? One two three.. Why it is "a fever"..?
Fevers is technically a countable noun, though rarely used in the plural in most conversations. It is possible though; for example: "There are a few fevers we describe using colors: yellow fever, scarlet fever, etc."
