Some of the earliest results from The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in The Young (TEDDY) study -- a major Europe-USA consortium exploring the causes of type 1 diabetes in children -- has found no evidence for viral infection as a cause of the rapid-onset form of the condition. The research appears in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and is by Professor Anette-Gabriele Ziegler of the German Research Centre for Environmental Health (Helmholtz Zentrum M?nchen), Munich, Germany, and colleagues across the USA and Europe, including Drs Hye- Seung Lee and Jeffrey Krischer from the University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA, Dr. Thomas Briese from Columbia University, New York, NY, USA, and Dr Beena Akolkar, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, USA.
