First record of the grapevine aphid Aphis illinoisensis in the island of Kriti, Greece

Abstract

The grapevine aphid Aphis illinoisensis was recently recorded in several areas on grapevine in the island of Kriti in Greece. It was found in Greece less than three years after the first record of the aphid outside the American continent in south Turkey, and it is likely that it will spread to other Mediterranean countries. © 2005 OEPP/EPPO.
