Tom, I think that question has not been fully answered as to spores. LAB has always been around but with the cold wet Spring conditions were perfect for more extensive spread and the bit about Bonnie plants being infected is still in contention since plants can be infectged AFTER they reach the big boc stores.

Information on the net is different for potatoes vs tomatoes and I'll try to find the time to transfer here some update info from Cornell on misinformation that's been spread around and also some links on where th LB has spread to within NYS and in the NE in general.

I'm just really pressed for time right now.
