I have a Goldfinger P stem with vascular discoloration and very concerned.
Here is picture below.

This goldfinger mat had two stems when planted. The first stem has matured and has a bunch now and the second has this discoloration.

Is Moko disease a problem in Florida?

The stem with the fruit does not seem to be affected at least yet. We did have temperatures in the 30s F and frost about 11 days ago.

That looks bad, I don't think Panama Disease has ever been reported on FHIA-1. I have also never heard of Moko being an issue in Florida. Possibly: Cucumber Mosaic Virus.
