Researchers discover multiple sclerosis most likely caused by Epstein-Barr virus
This means a vaccine could largely eradicate the condition all together
95% of the population has been infected with Mono, which is the Epstein-Barr virus
9 out of 10 people that have MS have been infected also with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
At least 35 in 100,000 people develop Multiple Sclerosis
Most people feel no symptoms of this virus, it stays imbedded in your DNA and springs up later
But now that the trigger for Multiple Sclerosis has been found, a vaccine is the next step
The main challenge is the virus is it persist negative stimulation to the immune system
So while the degenerative disease isn't common in everyone with EBV, we now know how to fight it
Moderna is one fo the first teams that has began test a mRNA vaccines for EBV
The hope is to now focus on the cause and immunize the population from this debilitating disease
