   I'm surprised to hear this. I saw a case of European the other day,
and I had to stop and look at it, because I had forgotten what it
looked like. It's been several years since I've seen it.

   We've come to regard susceptibility to EFB as a genetic
weakness, and that good breeding can eliminate it.  I don't know if
there are geographic factors as well.  But I regard it as so minor that
it's almost out of sight.
