Your photo does look like Aster Yellows. Probably would be best to remove the plant. Besides that, the plant has been a feeding ground for insects. It could have been leafhoppers doing all that damage and they do transmit the disease.
Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I've been in denial. I'll remove tomorrow.
