Multiple Sclerosis and Crane-flies:
A Testable Hypothesis
Key Words: multiple sclerosis, prevalence, environmental, trigger, crane flies Tipulidae
Abstract: Epidemiological studies of multiple sclerosis (MS) confirmed an uneven geographical distribution and change in prevalence of the disease over time indicating an acquired, exogenous origin. MS occurs on every continent and is distributed in high, medium and low frequencies. It is most common in the temperate zones in the northern hemisphere. The disease pattern correlates with Tipulidae, a family of crane flies.

About MS
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults.

MRI findings, IgG oligoclonal bands and abnormal responses to evoked potentials confirm the diagnosis of MS. Lesions develop around venules.
