/// Very good point ! I was thinking about bacteria and other micro-organism. What kind of entity would create/generate such organisms ? We have a goddess of worms, another of ferns but anything so small would be trickster-cursed.

Which to my mind suggests there's probably nothing living smaller than what is visible to the naked eye because there's no mechanism for its creation (give or take perhaps a few mostali-created oddities). /// Aberration. "Vision" only one sense allowing to percieve Machine. Correct semantics is "Perception". Use of Earthsense relevant, even cursed darksense. Plan also recquires smaller constructs that inferior lifeforms can percieve. Proper work is done on mini- and micro-constructs. Great Error lost nano-tech to us, only for True Mostali.

And the above, to bring it back to the topic, doesn't leave much room for bacterial or viral disease.
/// True. Let's have the story of "why do things rot" told.

would you really get beings that are recognisably human in Glorantha, or is it a convenient fiction that the dominant intelligent race is human (as opposed to probably humanoid due to creation effects) and has even vaguely similar "biology".
