EBV vaccines & antiviral treatment of IM
As promised, my presentation from the Nobel Symposium can be viewed here, and I have recorded my lecture so you can listen to it. I hope this generates a lot of interest and discussion.

Very interesting presentation. There are a lot of challenges ahead for this approach to MS prevention.
As a Maths graduate and A level maths teacher, it doesn't surprise me at all that many people don't understand necessary but insufficient .
Is there any way to find out if and when someone had Infectious Mononucleosis?
It's not a familiar name here in India, at least it wasn't familiar for me. I had never heard of it till I started reading the Barts Blog after MS.
