Leaf disease identification

Hey THP.
 
I seem to be having a problem with one of my Carolina Reaper plants. Some of the leaves are starting to gain a weird color and curling up. I've tried to knock mites of the leaves with no succes, and I haven't seen any pests on the plant, so I'm guessing it must be some kind of disease.
Any help identifying this would be appreciated!

That's what i feared, just wanted someone else to agree with me. Thank you.
 
What would be the best treatment? Just to get rid of the plant as fast as possible?
 
I have several other pepper plants, and I'd like them to survive for just a couple months more. 
 
Cull the plant, do not risk infecting others by keeping it alive. Sterilize the pot it was grown in. Also do not plant seeds from any pods it produced, you are not sure how long the plant had the virus. 
 
I have discarded of the infected plant, along with a Habanero that starting showing similar signs. Thank you for the response, although it wasn't quite the happy ending i hoped for.
