Wilting leaves on eggplant

Looking for some input on an eggplant issue that's just popped up. I have a Dancer eggplant that's been growing like a champ in full direct sun until a few days ago when I noticed a few leaves starting to wilt. Oddly it was only one half of each leaf that was wilting. Now a few days later, those leaves have pretty much shriveled and died, and a few more have the half-wilt going too. Most of the rest of the plant appears OK, though I'm concerned there's something going on here that might take down the whole plant in time.

The wilting does not change or improve with nighttime temps or extra watering. As far as the soil, this is the first time this particular area has been used for eggplants. I had zucchini there last year, which were lost to vine borers. I water every other day.
