Summary:In July 2019, 11 watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) plants (six ‘Augusta negra’ and five ‘Kasmira’) and seven zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) ‘Marcado’ plants showing yellowing and vein clearing on the leaves were collected in Arico on Tenerife Island of the Canary Islands. Analysis with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with polyclonal antibodies using kits from LOEWE Biochemica GmbH (Sauerlach, Germany) detected cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) in four watermelon (two ‘Augusta negra’ and two ‘Kasmira’) plants and one zucchini plant.
