The cruise passenger, also a Dutch woman, was too ill to fly and was taken off the plane in Johannesburg, where she died.<\/p>\n<p>If the woman tests positive, she could be the first known person not on the MV Hondius to become infected in the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Three cruise ship passengers\u00a0have died\u00a0in the outbreak, and several others are sick.

The company had not previously said that dozens more people left the ship on April 24.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until May 2 that health authorities first confirmed hantavirus in a passenger on the ship, the\u00a0World Health Organization\u00a0has previously said. That was in a British man evacuated from the ship to South Africa from Ascension Island three days after the St. Helena stop. He was tested in South Africa and is in intensive care there.<\/p>\n<p>The people who left the ship at St. Helena to return to their home countries were of at least 12 different nationalities, Oceanwide Expeditions said.

They have focused mainly on an April 25 flight from St. Helena to Johannesburg, the day after passengers disembarked there.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch woman from the cruise ship who later died in South Africa briefly boarded that flight, officials have said. It\u2019s not known how many other cruise passengers also were among the 88 people on it, but flights from St. Helena go to South Africa and are rare, normally once a week.<\/p>\n<p>The body of the third fatality, a German woman, is also still on board the ship after she died on May 2.<\/p>\n<p>Tests have confirmed that at least five people who were on the ship were infected with a hantavirus found in South America, called the Andes virus. It can cause a severe and often fatal lung disease called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina\u2019s health ministry\u00a0said there were 28 deaths from hantavirus last year, up from an average mortality rate of 15 in the five years before that. Nearly a third of cases last year were fatal, it said.<\/p>\n<p>The Andes strain is the only hantavirus known to spread from human to human.<\/p>\n<p>The ship departed\u00a0from Argentina\u00a0and investigations into the source of the outbreak are focusing on that country. The Dutch couple, the first passengers to fall sick, traveled there and elsewhere in South America before boarding the ship, according to WHO.<\/p>\n<p><em>Quell reported from The Hague, Netherlands.
