Grapes that have been infected with measles display small chlorotic interveinal areas on leaves. Dark red margins may surround the dead interveinal areas for some varieties. Severely affected leaves may drop and canes may die back from the tips. On berries, small, round, dark spots, each bordered by a brown purple ring, may occur. Berries may crack and dry on the vine.
