Patient remains on south Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha, say health officials, as vessel heads to Tenerife
What is hantavirus?
A third British national has been diagnosed with suspected hantavirus linked to a cruise ship outbreak, health officials have said.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) had already confirmed two cases among British nationals, who are in hospitals in the Netherlands and South Africa. It said a third had been reported on the south Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha, where the patient remains.
The outbreak linked to the cruise ship MV Hondius has killed three people and the World Health Organization has warned more hantavirus cases could emerge, though officials said they expected the outbreak to be limited if precautions were taken.
