Eriophyes vitis, also known as grape erineum mite or blister mite, is a mite species in the genus Eriophyes infecting grape leaves (Vitis vinifera). E. vitis has spread worldwide and has three distinct strains: a leaf-curling strain, a blister-causing strain, and a strain that stunts the growth of buds.[1] It is a vector of grapevine pinot gris virus and grapevine inner necrosis virus.[2]
This species is associated with the mite Tydeus eriophyes on grapevines in the vicinity of Grabouw, South Africa.
