Description |
| Synthococcus Novae [1] |
Dangerous organism, a biproduct of modern technology. Doctor Sevrin was a carrier of the disease, although immune to it himself. [1] Samples of this disease were stolen from Cold Station 12 by a group of Augments in 2154. [2] |
| Symbalene Blood Burn [3] |
Virulent disease which is capable of killing an entire planetary population in short order, but not as fast as Nomad could. [3] Barclay suspected that he was suffering from Symbalene blood burn in 2370, though he was mistaken. [4] Earth kept samples of the disease in storage at Cold Station 12 in 2154. [2] |
| Surata IV Microbe Infection [5] |
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.

| Subnucleonic radiation poisoning [6] |
A form of radiation poisoning which can cause severe burns and ultimately death. The effects can be avoided by placing the subject in stasis. Some nebulae emit subnucleonic radiation and travel through these are virtually impossible. Borg physical enchancements make drones largely immune to the effect. [6] |
| Schizophrenia [7] |
Psychotic mental disorder which causes delusions, retreat from reality, and strongly conflicting emotions. [7] |
| Sakuro's Disease [8] |
Rare disease which can cause an intense fever, weakness, and even death. Federation Commissioner Hedford died of Sakuro's Disease in 2267. [8] |
