Stem necrosis is generally absent. The cucumber fruit itself will not display lesions. [1] In melons, such as rockmelon, muskmelon, and cantaloupe, MNSV produces necrotic lesions on the leaves and/or cotyledons. The roots will also exhibit necrotic lesions. The melon fruit decreases in size and displays necrotic spots on the rind as well.
Lesions will look necrotic and may be near veins. On fruit, water soaked lesions will be small and irregular (they average 1 cm diameter and may be sunken) but then progress through the rind. The fruit then decays and cracks when the pathogen causes necrosis. These lesions open the plant to secondary infections as well.
Temperature and moisture are the most important factors in the spread of gummy stem blight. For watermelon and cucumber, the best temperature for infection is around 25 °C; for melon the best temperature is around 20 °C. [2] Continual leaf wetness from 1–10 hours is necessary for germination, sporulation, and colonization of conidia. [4]

Watermelon mosaic virus 1 Papaya ringspot virus ( PRSV ) is a pathogenic plant virus [ 1 ] in the genus Potyvirus and the virus family Potyviridae which primarily infects the papaya tree. The virus is a non-enveloped, flexuous rod-shaped particle that is between 760–800 nm long and 12 nm in diameter.
