Three people have died and five others have been taken unwell after a suspected virus outbreak on a cruise ship sailing in the Atlantic Ocean.
One case of hantavirus has been confirmed, while one British national, aged 69, is in intensive care in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The outbreak was reported aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, which was travelling from Argentina to Cape Verde.
The World Health Organisation said that it was working with authorities to evacuate two other passengers with symptoms from the ship.
Hantavirus infections are typically linked to exposure to the feces or urine of infected rodents, WHO said.
