------- the virus has long been endemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Positive samples were found between 1992 and 2012 on a 600 km area along the Nile River, from Kenana (300 km south of Khartoum) to Atbara (300 km north of Khartoum), mostly on melon or snake cucumber (C. melo var. flexuosus) but also on watermelon, squash and zucchini, loofah and bitter gourd (Lagenaria siceraria)
