The aucuba mosaic strain produces bright yellow leaf mottling, with only slight leaf distortion and stunting; fruits may show yellow or silver-coloured streaks and flecks, especially at higher temperatures.
In watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris), the watermelon strain produces slight leaf mottling and dwarfing, but infection at fruit-set, or shortly afterwards, can induce serious internal discoloration and decomposition in the fruit.
