In the body, Epstein-Barr virus slips into the epithelial cells that line the surface of the throat, allowing the virus to spread to other people via saliva — hence mono’s nickname, “the kissing disease.” The virus also infects a type of immune cell called B cells, where it enters viral hibernation.
The researchers found such a group in the U.S. military. Through the Department of Defense Serum Repository, the team had access to repeated blood samples from more than 10 million individuals, taken when active-duty members were screened for diseases such as HIV at the start of their service and then every two years.
Ascherio isn’t deterred. “After 20 years of talking about EBV and MS, it’s quite exciting that we’ve finally nailed it down,” he says. “There was a lot of skepticism until now and that is fading away.”Source: K. BJORNEVIK ET AL/The fact that Epstein-Barr virus is implicated in so many diseases had many researchers skeptical of its link to MS, says Tobias Lanz, a neurologist at Stanford University.
Can we also please ensure that ~polio~ is a 'historical disease' like polio?
Hope so
There is literally nothing in any vaccine that does anything for you. Go research the ingredients. Most of them are nothing more than toxic chemicals. These chems also have the capability to mutate viruses. People are literally being turned into virus greenhouses.
Maybe. But that one day might be The kids away. That means we will lose a few generations to this horrible disease.
May ..why this word is becoming a rhetoric of today science promises..just find the cure then we'll talk
Polio is spreading on NY
This is heat news. I am on Team Elizabeth (my cousin) and any hope on this disease is great news.
Let’s hope so
Wonderful news! Time to rid the world of such horrific diseases and syndromes. Did not know this was viral at all.
false hopes again, any the simplest disease can you tell BigPharma heal permanently? no cure ,no heal for any disease yet as long as they focus profit in medicine... don't count on surgery.
