Confirmed ZYMV (Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus)
If you look carefully at this pumpkin you can see a bumpy look to it. Now it was big enough to be set and it was still growing but seeing this bumpy appearance instead of the nice smooth look typically for a pumpkin of this age told me that the virus was altering the DNA and it would only get worse. So, even though it is hard to do this plant (1725 Harp) was completely removed shortly after this picture.
This is the look that is more typical at initial onset and indicates that the plant is infected with a virus.
