Deep One with a twist

The trick here is the new deep ones don't serve him they serve Dagon.

The biting is the PG version.

Yeah, unless the newly created Deep Ones automagically think that the best way to serve Dagon is to do whatever the villain that infects them says, I'd say that's just a regular old Infectious Attack with the attack being "contact with Deep One....fluids" and it taking a week to take effect.
