Seed has been suggested as a possible pathway for Kyuri green mottle mosaic virus (KGMMV) in cucurbits, but no confirmed evidence of seed transmission has been found in Cucurbita species. KGMMV is a tobamovirus closely related to Zucchini green mottle mosaic virus and Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus. It is recognized as a soil- and mechanically transmitted pathogen, with soilborne persistence documented as a production issue in Japan. Reports of KGMMV remain limited, with detections primarily from Japan, a single region of Korea, one report from Indonesia, and recent findings in commercial cucurbit seed lots indicating it may be more widespread than previously understood.

Seed has been suggested as a possible pathway for Kyuri green mottle mosaic virus, but seed transmission in Cucurbita spp. remains unconfirmed. The virus is primarily spread through mechanical transmission and soilborne persistence, which are considered its main routes of movement.
Yes
ELISA
A seed test method using ELISA is available in some commercial labs.
