The snake melon asteroid mosaic virus was found in Sudan only on a few cucurbit species. It is easily mechanically transmissible in greenhouses by seed at a low rate and by the red melon beetle.

SMAMV-1
Seed transmission has only been shown in greenhouse expirements on one variety of snake melon and was at a very low rate. No field grown melon seed sources were evaluated for SMAMV. SMAMV-1 was the only reference found, no others were available to indicate seed as a pathway.
cultural, biological
Maintaining good sanitation methods and controlling the melon beetle will help reduce incidences of SMAMV.
