Eva Forsgren was working with Dennis vanEngelsdorp to figure it out, but I
haven't heard of results. I'm just guessing that it's new based upon the
degree of virulence and different field characteristics. It doesn't "go
away" by itself as did the "old" EFB. Smell (likely from secondarys) is
different than in the old literature. Has been hitting across the US for
the past few years.
