• Multiple sclerosis: geoepidemiology, genetics and the environment. (2010, background): “Ascherio and Munger [26] reviewed the literature on this subject and found that influenza, hepatitis B, varicella, tetanus and BCG vaccinations are “safe” in MS, with no propensity either to initiate or provoke flare ups.”
• Interferons at age 50: past, current and future impact on biomedicine (2007, background): “epidemiological studies highlight epstein-barr virus and low plasma levels of vitamin D, and genetic studies implicate several polymorphic variants of immune response genes [198] [199] [200] [201] .”
• Dysbiosis in the Gut Microbiota of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis, with a Striking Depletion of Species Belonging to Clostridia XIVa and IV Clusters (2015, background): “Although>100 single nucleotide polymorphisms are linked with MS susceptibility, it is also influenced by environmental factors such as infection with Epstein-Barr virus, cigarette smoking, and lower exposure to sunlight [3,4].”
