In October 2016, this whitefly was found on Citrus plants growing in public gardens in Larnaca and Limassol districts. The identity of the pest was confirmed by the laboratory of Fera (GB) using morphological methods. Surveys are ongoing and further measures will be taken. Observations showed that A. marlatti is widespread in Larnaca and Limassol districts but no severe damage has been recorded (EPPO 2017).
