I lost 2 plants/pumpkins to what we suspect was CYVD. Matt D connected me with two universities doing active research on this disease so I am sending them plant samples and insects from the patch. One hypothesis that they will study is whether CYVD can be transmitted by cucumber beetles or not (currently this is not known). They will compare pathogen DNA in the insects and plant. I’ll share results as I get them.
