EPPO Reporting Service (2018/177) : a review of past records (Dominiak & Worsley, 2018) concluded that the geographical range of Z. cucumis is predominantly coastal (coasts of New South Wales, Northern Territory, and Queensland), and that the 29°S latitude is most probably the Southern limit under which the pest is not able to establish. Therefore, Victoria and South Australia are most likely to be free from the pest.
