Episode |
| Darnay's Disease1 |
A disease which attacks the which attacks the central nervous system and the brain. Symptoms include pain, coughing, shortness of breath, irritability, and erratic behavior. In the final stages health is so damaged that use of a transporter can be fatal. The condition was incurable with the medicine available to the Federation as of 2365. |
The Schizoid Man |
| Valakian Genetic Plague2 |
A condition common on the planet Valakis in the mid 22nd century. The plague was a genetic illness suffered by a large proportion of the Valakian population - in 2149 some 12 million people died of it, and by 2151 roughly one third of the entire Valakian population suffered from it. The Valakians sought help from more advanced species, a call to which the NX-01 responded after discovering a Valakian sub warp ship in deep space.2 The Valakians treated the condition with a synthetic antibody, but although it was effective at first the disease mutated and moved into the respiratory system after a time, at which point it became uncontrollable. Pulmonary failure usually followed within a few days. Treatment with priaxate eased the symptoms in severe cases, at least temporarily.2 Ultimately it was discovered that the proteins which bind to Valakian chromosomes were deteriorating, a process which had been going on for thousands of years and was now accelerating. The Menk, another intelligent species which lived on the same planet, were immune to the condition, which was expected to result in the extinction of the Valakians by the 24th century. Although Dr. Phlox was able to find a cure for the genetic plague, both he and Captain Archer decided to classify the situation as a natural evolution of the species involved, and thus declined to give the Valakians the solution. They thus condemned the entire species to eventual extinction.2 |
Dear Doctor |
| Terrellian Plague3 |
A dangerous disease. After Neelix served 'Rodeo Red's Red Hot Rootin Tootin Chilli', he thought his customers might be suffering from this plague. Fortunately, it turned out to be a case of heartburn.3 When infected, the first symptom is a headache, but then various nasty effects begin to appear.4 |
All Good Things |

| Melvaran Mud Flea Virus8 |
A disease which affected Humans in the mid 23rd century. There was a readily available vaccine for the virus, though it came with the same symptoms as the virus itself - a bad headache, a flop sweat, loss of vision in the left eye and nausea. In extreme cases the reaction to the vaccine could lead to very swollen hands, a dangerously high heart rate, and numb tongue. James Kirk was given the vaccine by Leonard McCoy in 2358 so that, as McCoy's patient, he could be taken aboard the Enteprise in spite of his academic suspension. Kirk had the most extreme reaction to the vaccine that McCoy had seen since medical school.8 |

Non-living material is not affected.28 |

All Good Things |
| Common Cold52 |
Earth disease which was notoriously difficult to cure. In 2151 Lieutenant Reed suffered from a cold, though he thought it remarkable that he could have contracted the disease in the closed environment of a starship and claimed that any species that had the ability to travel faster than the speed of light should surely be able to cure the common cold.21 More than a century later the common cold remained uncured amongst Humans in 2269.53 It was finally cured at some point prior to 2364.54 |

The population of Cor Caroli V suffered an outbreak of this disease in 2366. It was contained with the help of the Enterprise-D. Starfleet Command classified the outbreak as secret.72 |
Allegiance |
| Surata IV Microbe Infection73 |
This infection was passed on by being scratched by the thorns of a living vine plant native to Surata IV. The vines benefitted from the infection as the remains of their victims fertilised the soil they lived in. The microbes displayed properties of both a virus and a bacteria. They attached themselves to the great sciatic nerve and multiplied, fusing themselves to the nerves at a molecular level and damaging neural functioning, causing paralysis. Neither surgery nor a transporter biofilter could remove the infection, but they could be counteracted by stimulating negative dreams in the brain, producing chemicals which neutralised the infection.73 |
Shades of Gray |

Vulcan disease spread through mind melds. It was very similar to thymic sclerosis, causing degradation of the synaptic pathways and affected the endocrine and immune systems. It was officially believed to be incurable in 215220, but in fact this was a lie propogated by the High Command. A Vulcan properly trained in mind melds can cure Pa'nar with a meld.82 |
