It needs drastic action. If plant is healthy and vigourous, you should destroy infected leaves. Are you sure its mosaic? Its usually leaf miner problems. Use an insecticide, or some organic remedy. Whatever you fancy! But generally gourds don't really care. Give them some TLC and they fruit easily, everywhere!
