It's ok, humans don't catch mosaic virus
Are you sure about the diagnosis - plants with mosaic virus don't usually crop well?

Many thanks .Glad to have that info , I assumed all was ok .
Found a picture of the desease on here. I Only have two plants in pots on my hot patio and they have produced 10 small fat cucumbers this year and there are a few more budding up.Seem a lot to me so am pleased with my crop as I can pick and eat as i need. Will do some more again next year, is there anything i can do to stop the virus appearing in the early stage of growing would appreciate any info .
