LONDON, May 8 (Reuters) – Britain’s health security agency said an additional suspected case of hantavirus had been identified in a British national on the South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha.

Two British nationals have been confirmed as cases of hantavirus, as part of its monitoring of the deadly outbreak on a luxury cruise ship, the UK Health Security Agency said in an update on Friday.
