Confirmed ZYMV (Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus)

This zoom out picture of the plant stressing the point that the new growth is a tell tale sign of a viral infection. The leaves on the main vine still look normal as the virus replication rate is slower in this section of the plant. While I got a cucurbit virus screen to confirm the exact type of virus if you want a field diagnosis that will confirm a virus infect I suggest you look to the pumpkin. (Look at the following two postings for pictures of virus infected pumpkins.)
