Are the mites the only vectors?. Other plant juice absorbing insects could become also occasional vectors because with their infected mouth parts go from plant to plant. (i.e common aphids). This has to be proved or discarded yet.

In addition, I think it's possible that these mites could "hitch a ride" onto gardening tools, clothes and/or wildlife (animals, birds)???
Thanks Arturo for your input - much appreciated.
Observe, observe, observe
We are fortunate to "see" & appreciate nature in ways others are blind.
