No. It is an autoimmune disease. The body's defenses are attacking the body instead of what is considered to be foreign. A variety of viruses have been linked to MS, including Epstein-Barr, the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis but the link is not been proven. A spirochete is not a virus but a type of bacteria.
