Can anyone help with a problem on one of my cougett plants seems to have an infection and when picked it went bad in a couple of days. should I get rid of the plant to stop it spreading to my other plants.

Sorry, I've never seen anything like that before, will be interesting to see if anybody knows more though.

Cucumber mosaic virus perhaps?

I would burn the plant.

Thanks just looked it up and it could well be CMV.
Will be disposing of plant tomorrow.

Mozaic virus of some sort. It will never produce any more decent fruits so you might as well pull it out. It is probably spread by aphids but other leaf sucking insects such as shield bugs can also spread it.. It can go into the compost heap as these viruses only exist in living material.
