QUOTES:

Currently there is no way to effectively prevent or treat EBV infection, but an EBV vaccine or targeting the virus with EBV-specific antiviral drugs could ultimately prevent or cure MS,” said Ascherio.

My opinion:  This is great news, but don't get your hopes up.  Treatment is not happening as of yet, this is simply stronger evidence of a potential treatment focus moving forward.
