76% Informative
The mono virus, called Epstein-Barr virus, infects more than 90% of people by adulthood.
It can trigger infectious mononucleosis, better known as mono, causing fever, swollen lymph nodes and fatigue.
Despite EBV 's widespread presence, very few people exposed to the virus go on to develop MS .
Researchers have identified a specific genetic variant that may help explain this disparity.
