Yes, you are right from the point of view of disease... I overlooked that. Disease has been devastating
because we are the same species.
But given the "success"
of introduced species such as the cane toad etc, I think there is a risk of an alien life form (however basic and simple) taking a liking to our environment and thriving without effective predators.
