More Tests On Infected Farm Details Discovered at: http://southburnett.com.au/news2/rural/ Sites: IBIS PH Publish date: Mon 2015-Apr-27 Channel: Search engines Text (summary): April 24, 2015 Biosecurity Queensland has taken further plant samples for testing from a farm near Charters Towers which is under quarantine after a case of Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) was detected. CGMMV affects cucurbit species including watermelons and other melons, cucumbers, zucchinis, pumpkins and gourds. It has devastated the Northern Territory watermelon industry after it was first detected there in September last year, but does not affect humans. Queensland Chief Plant Health Manager Mike Ashton said Biosecurity Queensland staff had spent this week conducting surveillance on the infected farm, on another nearby cucurbit-growing property and on a property at Black River, taking further samples and undertaking tracing investigations. “We should have those test results back within a week. We remain hopeful that this is an isolated case,” he said.
