I think thripes are the vector for BLS. I have it this year on almost every type of plant in my garden expect egg plants. It almost killed my tomatoes. I think I've saved them by pruning my tomatoes back too new growth and treating them with liquid copper. My peppers have it, but I've not seen any fruit damage. My beet leaves have the spots, but the beet roots seem okay. The hot weather lf late June and July will help I hope.
