Steve,
No virus remedies that I know of yet. If the pumpkins are pretty much
full term, the virus won't bother them much. If you get the virus @ or near
fruit set, you will get fruit abortions and other fruit problems. I battled
WMV II for 4 years with no success and finally moved my patch to get away
from it.
