Mealybugs were not detected in the mid-south province, whereas some farms were infested in the north. The sole species present was Planococcus ficus Signoret. The increase of virus-infected plants in four experimental parcels and the transmission of a domestic isolate of GLRaV-3 by P. ficus strongly suggest the natural spread of the disease.Acknowledgment: The authors are grateful to Dr. M.C.
