No. Epilepsy is not an infectious disease that you can catch from someone or through a virus. It is a physical ailment, affecting electronic activity in the brain There are various causes for that, but a virus would not be amongst them. Unless a virus could cause some physical damage to the brain, there is no way it can cause epilepsy.
