the only ones I know of are snake mites, respiratory infection (RI), and Body Inclusion Disorder which is known as, or has something to do with stargazing.
I guess you know all these ones anyway

Mouth rot is a fungus and dont forget coccidiosis and crytosporidia which are protozoans, pentastomiasis which is a parasite and salmonella which is a bacteria.
