Abstract

After two decades of dedicated studies, in 2022, Ascherio and colleagues have provided the most definitive and compelling evidence that Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is an early and essential factor in MS development. Now, the crux of MS research is to find out how a ubiquitous, generally asymptomatic infection interacts with genetic and environmental cofactors to induce disease in a minority of people.
