Brom phil, As far as we know, it is world wide except maybe in Alaska & Antartica. There is no known cure, and a strong source of infection is this garden forum. Does anyone know of any case where someone has recovered from this infliction and gone on to grow daisies? Would be interested to know !!
Heavily infected & mildly infectious, JAGA

Jaga, the only intance that I know of where people actulally stopped growing bromeliads is where they also not GROWING Daisies, but PUSHING Daisies!!!

lol now i get it oops now i feel like a total idiot i fort it was the one some were in america that was fretening some native bromeliad over there. but now i know.

ps i think i might have a bad case of it, but i also think i found a cure.

I dunno, sometimes I get these "Martha Stewart" urges. I'm looking into joining a 12 Step program though.
