Do you have a source for that? As I have close friends affected by MS I'd be really interested in reading a paper about it and sharing it with them.

From my initial searches I can't seem to find anything else than this being a proposed theory among others.

Edit: I've found this article https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-suggests-epstein-barr-virus-may-cause-multiple-sclerosis suggesting it's at least one of the factor but not the source of it.

I found this one but it's locked behind a Paywall so I can't tell you the full story. I did however find that it's linked to or referenced by 35 other sites, most of which are reputable science sites

Edit: another that is talking about the next stages of research now they discovered this

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cti2.1451

Thanks, that's really interesting. I'll try to find the opened paper somewhere else, but the abstract already gives a lot of interesting informations :)

sci-hub should help get you that paper

Yep that's what I was alluding to :). Unfortunately the first DOI did not return a result. I'll probably email the contact author. They usually are quite willing to send the PDF.
