Public health research: Multiple Sclerosis, 1977-94

Component identifier:

Series 10

Content Summary:

Murrell's work on the disease multiple sclerosis asserted that an environmental factor was involved in the aetiology of the disease. Contained in this brief series are papers, drafts, correspondence and notes that review Murrell's interest in the sheep-Multiple Sclerosis connection. Murrell's initial observation was that that the disease occurred with greater frequency in country districts. This anticipated development of a hypothesis that connected farm animals and raw products with involvement of the central nervous system through exposure to brucellosis.

Immediate source of acquisition:

Timothy Murrell donated the papers to the Library in five instalments between 1996 and 2000.
