A cruise ship hit by an outbreak of hantavirus has arrived in the Canary Islands.
Three people confirmed to have the virus and five suspected cases have been linked to the ship - the MV Hondius.
The confirmed cases are a Dutch woman who died, a British passenger in intensive care in South Africa and a Swiss passenger who is being treated in a Zurich hospital.
A British man, a Dutch crew member and a German national are among the suspected cases. Two have arrived in the Netherlands for treatment while a third, who is in a stable condition, is on board an evacuation flight that has been delayed.
