will have the means for predicting and perhaps minimizing the 

 impact of the disease. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We especially want to thank James Mathews, Mark Raker, and 

 Melanie Trogdon for their excellent technical assistance and thank 

 Jean Coleman for her usual excellence in preparing all the figures. 

 The research reported here was supported by contract EY-76-S- 

 09-0900 between the Energy Research and Development Administra- 

 tion (ERDA) and Wake Forest University and contract EY-76-
