Warty pumpkins

I just made my annual visit to the local pumpkin patch, to see what they'd let me have cheap for my red wrigglers.

The attendant pushed me hard to take the mosaic-virus infested warty pumpkins (not bred to be warty, just regular tall orange pumpkins with some warts).

I use my vermicompost for tomato plants, which can be infected by mosaic virus.

Would any of you have risked it? Does the same subspecies of mosaic virus that infects pumpkins also affect tomatoes? I can't find an authoritative source online, just general articles like this one:
