Thank you Randy- a very succinct answer, thank you for taking the time to address this question. I believe that what you are telling me and others, if I may rephrase it,, and what Peter was also referencing, is what you have said so  many times before- which is to manage the mite loads, and that is as much as can be done, practically speaking, for their associated pathogens at this point in time. i was under the impression that things may have changed again- but it sounds like this is not the case. Manage mites. Got it.

That seems right. Thank you again, very helpful.
