We need your help to investigate the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) strain that may play a crucial role in developing multiple sclerosis (MS). This study also aims to identify specific markers in the blood associated with onset and progression of MS. The knowledge gained will be used to greatly improve MS diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

People WITH MS who:
•Are 18 years and above
•Have been diagnosed with MS by a neurologist
People who DO NOT have MS who:
•Are 18 years and above and have NOT been diagnosed with MS, and
•Have NOT been diagnosed with any similar neurological condition
