Sounds like bacterial wilt which is vectored by cucumber beetles.

Hmm, this sounds very similar to a disease I have been fighting. This year 2
plants had it. They did not die right away , took nearly a month. Plant
slowly turned yellowish and leaves wilted somewhat, and then slowly died
off. It did not grow at all after turning yellow. I sprayed with seven, and
it kept it off some of my plants but was not 100 percent effective. Also, it
did not bother other pumpkins and gourds, only affected C. maxima. Could
you send me more information on this disease?
Thanks,
John
