After a long time and a lot of work, our hypothesis on the development of ME/CFS following an Epstein Barr virus infection has finally been published...

In mice. Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults, though the nature of the relationship remains unknown. Herein, we have examined the contribution of viral infection to the severity of arthritis in mice. We have provided the first...

Abstract Infectious mononucleosis (IM), mainly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, can result in prolonged symptoms. The objective of this study was to look at the length of sick leave, diagnosis of IM, treatment, and comorbidities in a real-world setting in Germany. This retrospective...

An interesting article on a possible association between Long Covid and EBV reactivation, thank you Anil (sorry forgotten your user name here) for alerting me to this on Facebook: Investigation of Long COVID Prevalence and Its Relationship to Epstein-Barr Virus Reactivation Gold et al Pathogens...

Moderna appears to be developing several mRNA vaccines for EBV and other viruses It's an investors' document but it lists several mRNA vaccines in various phases of development for some of the ME-causing viruses: CMV, EBV and some flu strains. CMV appears to be in phase 2 development. EBV could...

ABSTRACT Background We followed college students before, during, and after infectious mononucleosis (IM) for the development of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Aim We used network analysis to study relationships between pre-illness cytokine data amongst three...
