How to treat Powdery Mildew on African Violets

I have a large number of African Violets and have noticed a powdery substance on some of the leaves of several plants. I think it is probably Powdery Mildew, but how to treat it? How invasive is it? Do I need to isolate the Violets that have it? HELP! Thank you for any advice you can share.
