Officials discover second CGMMV case in Queensland

Biosecurity Queensland has confirmed another case of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) in Bundaberg.

The virus was found at a commercial cucumber greenhouse that has no links to the previous detection in four greenhouses in the region, or the previous case in Charters Towers.

The detection was made during testing of samples collected as part of increased surveillance in the region, in a crop that did not show any symptoms consistent with CGMMV.

Queensland chief plant health manager Mike Ashton said Biosecurity Queensland had completed diagnostic testing to confirm the presence of CGMMV on the property.

"As part of our response to the Bundaberg detection, we have been conducting surveillance on cucurbit properties in the Bundaberg region and collecting samples for diagnostic testing," he said.
