"We still do not know.if this virus is the main virus that<br />

causes MS", caution the Henles. "It is only a c<strong>an</strong>didate".<br />

Establishing<br />

MS as <strong>an</strong> infectious disease poses a<br />

basic question: Why do some people get MS while others,<br />

perhaps<br />

members <strong>of</strong> the same family do not? The <strong>an</strong>swer may lie in the<br />

discovery <strong>by</strong> the researchers that the blood <strong>of</strong> nurses <strong>an</strong>d<br />

relatives who tend MS patients carries <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>tibody<br />

against<br />

the<br />

disease.<br />

In East Africa, where MS is virtually unknown,<br />

the<br />

population in general has this same <strong>an</strong>tibody in the blood,<br />

indicating that the people were once infected but developed <strong>an</strong><br />

immunity.<br />

Scientists know that MS follows certain<br />

patterns.<br />

It is, for example, more prevalent in temperate zones th<strong>an</strong> in<br />

tropical regions, <strong>an</strong>d occurs in industrialized countries more<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten th<strong>an</strong> in underdeveloped<br />

nations.<br />

One theory is that in the less-developed<br />

nations<br />

the MS virus strikes almost all the population at <strong>an</strong> early age,<br />

establishing a basic immunity.<br />

These studies on MS <strong>an</strong>tibodies suggest that the<br />

virus<br />

is much more widespread th<strong>an</strong> the disease<br />

itself <strong>an</strong>d that MS may<br />

occur only in individuals genetically or otherwise predisposed<br />

to it.<br />
