A vine-killing disease threatening to cost New Zealand's kiwifruit industry hundreds of millions of dollars is spreading.

Last night, 75 orchards were showing possible symptoms.

The disease, known as PSA and caused by bacteria, has been confirmed on three orchards in the Te Puke region of the Bay of Plenty
