First recorded in: 2012
Symptoms of cucurbit yellow vine disease were first observed in July 2012 on pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo cv. New England Pie) and summer squash (C. pepo cv. Costata Romanesco and cv. Zephyr) at a University of Georgia research farm in Watkinsville.
Cucurbit yellow vine disease was previously thought to be caused by S. marcescens, but has been reallocated to S. ureilytica by Mphande et al. (2025) [2026-04]
