For my Infinite Cabal campaign, which takes a fairly gritty approach, I did have to consider the question of why world-travellers don't spread diseases from world to world. The PCs haven't found out yet: even Infinity doesn't know exactly why it doesn't happen.

I have encountered a couple of instances of biological warfare in RPGs. One by PCs which succeeded in dealing with an invading species of humanoid plants, and one by NPC villains, a cult of disease, which was suppressed by PCs.
