SImply don't plant them near white pines (or any other five-needle pine).
According to most of what I've heard, you want them at least 30 feet away from
pines.
A couple cultivars, most notably Titania, are immune to it.
Resistance may help the currant, but resistant currants can still spread the
disease to pines.
The currant isn't susceptible to the disease at all. It is strictly a
carrier.
Planting 30 feet away is a poor solution. You can't control where the
leaves blow, where the squirrels and butterflies go, and so on.
