Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a severely debilitating neurodegenerative disease, affecting over 16,000 Australians. There is a need to examine which factors drive the progression of this disease. We examine the role of two viral infections on MS activity. It has the potential to contribute to antiviral interventions that might prevent relapses and-or decrease the clinical progression of this debilitating disease.

多发性硬化症（MS）是一种严重的神经退行性疾病，影响超过16，000名澳大利亚人。有必要研究哪些因素推动这种疾病的进展。我们研究了两种病毒感染对MS活动的作用。它有可能有助于抗病毒干预，可能会防止复发和/或减少这种使人衰弱的疾病的临床进展。
