Seven Brits were among 30 passengers who left the stricken cruise liner after a Dutch man died with his wife later testing positive for hantavirus and dying herself

Former Police office Martin Anstee, 56, is recovering in hospital in Amsterdam after going on a 'trip of a lifetime' where he was exposed to hantavirus on the MV Hondius

It is believed Hantavirus was brought onto MV Hondius by a Dutch couple who had gone birdwatching at a landfill site in Ushuaia, Argentina, before boarding the ship

Three people, including a British crew member, have now been airlifted from the doomed MV Hondius cruise liner which was hit by the rat-borne hantavirus

There are 19 passengers from Great Britain and four British crew members trapped on a cruise ship off Cape Verde. Two Brits have so far been hit by the outbreak.
