vanda leaf spot

Howdy Everyone

Does anyone have experience with vanda leaf spot or "Thai disease". I can't find much info online other than it's a series of purple spots with diamond patterns and it's caused by the fungus Guignardia. I am looking for fungicides that can control this particular fungus and are safe for orchids. Any ideas? I have Halt and Aliette but the labels don't mention they control this fungus.

I threw two ascocenda hybrids in the trash today because they were heavily infected but the rest of the vandas may have spores in them.
