The natural host range of WMV-2 is Cucurbita pepo, Cucumis melo, C. sativus, Citrullus lanatus and some legumes, where it causes mosaic, mottling and leaf shape malformation. The virus is transmitted by inoculation from an insect vector. At least 29 species of aphids transmit watermelon mosaic 2 potyvirus, including Aphis craccivora and Myzus persicae.
