I like the scene in Enterprise where Dr. Phlox gets all excited about telling Earth schoolchildren how many viruses there are that can survive (and thrive) within the vacuum of space.

a virus that could jump between two species from different planets might be even more unlikely than the chance of interbreeding between those species... Viruses tend to be very tailor made, unless they are the flu, that ***** is crazy

You say that now, but wait til you get Explosive Targ Pox.

But seriously, if there is intelligent life out there disease would be my main concern, whether it be virulent, some bacteria, or some kind of auto-immune issue. If those aren't issues I'd smash a green or purple chick.

fair enough, viruses and bacteria tend to be very specifically designed for their hosts though. Its rare to find ones that can jump across species (and after a long enough infection, across individuals within a species), but I suppose it isn't impossible
