I.D.A.: "Creatures from outer space can pass on deadly diseases to crewmembers. Research these diseases in the medical research lab. Researched diseases will then be cured automatically. Please mind that you have to collect disease samples, dropped by sick crewmembers to research a disease. Use the biomass collector to collect these samples."
Medical research (or sick bay) enables research of sickness. Research requires a certain amount of samples and resources to be done. After the sickness is researched all clones will gain complete immunity against the researched disease and literally stand in the fully grown pathogenic fungus without any consequences. Medical research produces no healing drugs, as a captain use Healing Alien ability instead to give the sick crew member a chance to survive.
When a crew member is sick, he/she may walk back towards the Quarters. Security Gate in manual mode can be used to fence the clones from walking around the ship. Some diseases cause infected clones to abandon the work, but stand in place instead.
Decontamination modules (all types) destroy the spores flying through it and can be used to prevent spread of the spore clouds. This can be combined with purposely growing symbiotic lichen to prevent pathogenic forms from setting down in the room.

Diseases[ | ]
Helix[ | ]
"This organism will lay eggs in the lung of its host. By sneezing the host will spread the eggs."
Arguably the most dangerous. The infected will cough eggs, that will burst into spiders after short time. Spiders will quickly produce alien nests, that generate more spiders. Unless the captain has a clear plan, it is arguably better to murder the infected crew member to prevent ship infestation.
Velen[ | ]
TBD
Zot[ | ]
"The disease will grow a lifeform in the head of the infected. The host soon becomes lethargic and unable to fulfill the easiest tasks. If the disease ends fatal, the lifeform will break out of the head."
Arguably the least dangerous. May kill the infected crew member and spawn an alien.
Shroom[ | ]
"If not cured the sufferer may die from the disease and their whole body will turn into a foul substance from which primitive lifeforms can spawn."
May kill a crew member. Killed victim instantly releases few spider-like aliens as well as creating a nest, that releases more aliens.
