In Latvia,distribution and faunal studies of Cecidophyopsis gall mites started in 2008 and samples fromRibes plants (in cultivation and wild habitats) were collected from all parts of the country.Occurrence of gall mites was observed on Ribes plants coming from all inspected areas. In redcurrants, on 21 cultivars, gall mites were observed on 14 of them. In black currants from the 44investigated cultivars, mites were observed on 34 cultivars and on R. nigrum (black currantgroup) in some wild habitats.
