   New study finds 'kissing disease' virus is leading cause of multiple   
   sclerosis   
      
   Harvard researcher says developing a vaccine or treatment for   
   Epstein-Barr infection 'could ultimately prevent or cure MS'   
      
   Multiple sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease that has no cure and   
   affects some 2.8 million people in the world, is largely driven by   
   infection with the Epstein-Barr virus, according to a new paper by   
   Harvard University researchers.   
   ...   
   ...   
   "This is a big step because it suggests that most MS cases could be   
   prevented by stopping EBV infection, and that targeting EBV could lead   
   to the discovery of a cure for MS."   
      
   EBV is a herpes virus that can cause infectious mononucleosis --   
   sometimes called kissing disease -- and stays in the host for their   
   whole life.
