Hantavirus detected in Canadian cruise ship passenger

Canada has confirmed its first case of hantavirus linked to the deadly outbreak aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship. One of four Canadians isolating in British Columbia has tested positive after developing mild symptoms including fever and headache. Meanwhile, France's Pasteur Institute has fully sequenced the Andes virus found in a French passenger and determined it matches known South American viruses with no evidence of new characteristics making it more transmissible or dangerous. Public health authorities continue monitoring the situation and those in quarantine.
