Confirmed by FAO consultants' report in 1994.
First infestation was noticed in 1919 at Ramla in Gozo, as well as other localities on the same island. As vines are now grafted on resistant rootstocks, the pest is occasionally found on wild, non-grafted vines in the Maltese Islands (Mifsud and Watson, 1999)..
