Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2010/211) : it was first reported in Canada in 1946 on glasshouse and field tomatoes in south-western Ontario but did not establish. In 1970 and 1975, it was detected in glasshouses in British Columbia but similarly it did not establish. In 1991, it was reported again in Ontario from a single grower in Essex county. It then spread throughout the Leamington area (87 ha of glasshouses infested in 1999).

According to the Ontario Ministy of Agriculture, it is observed every year in a small number of production sites in Ontario.
