* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' features the Necromorphs, who will infect anyone they come into contact with. In particular, there are people that were stranded and starving, and took to [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty eating people that died]]...before wasting away and becoming {{Technically Living Zombie}}s themselves.

* Pseudo-example in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. The Ghouls are actually humans who have been heavily mutated, but look, act, and are regarded by many as traditional zombies. Their attacks infect the player with radiation damage.

* The undead provinces in the browser MMORTS ''VideoGame/{{Utopia}}'' usually have the "Spreads plague" property, which means that every time you attack or steal from them (or vice versa), there is a chance of carrying ThePlague into your province, which can then spread into other provinces the same way. Of course, the undead provinces themselves are [[RequiredSecondaryPowers immune to plague themselves]]--being already dead and all.
* The Undead faction in ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' can research the Disease ability, which lets their [[FleshGolem Abominations]] and siege weapons create clouds of poisonous gas when attacking.

* ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' brings in the tabletop game's assertion of Kindred potentially becoming host to bloodborne diseases in the form of the Brotherhood of the Ninth Circle, a doomsday cult trying to speed the end times every vampire fears by feeding on and infecting the humans of Los Angeles with a highly fatal plague. As this is drawing the attention of the CDC, it falls on you to clean up the mess before there's a Masquerade breach.

* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade''. Some products noted that vampires could act as carriers of blood-borne diseases. This meant they could infect any human they fed upon if the vampire didn't drain enough blood to kill the victim. One of the strongest examples of this in the 20th Anniversary Edition is Rabbat, a luckless Nosferatu who ended up on the Red List [[note: the Camarilla's list of "Kill on sight for fabulous prizes" vampires]] because she became host to a version of the Black Death that people fear could mutate to not just contaminate, but ''affect'', other vampires.

** Then there's the Lamia, a rare bloodline of the Cappadocians whose curse involved spreading a nigh-fatal plague to anyone they fed upon.

** It's also very common in the series for zombies of various stripes to have a random chance to inflict you with a disease of some kind if their attacks connect. In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' the highest tier of zombie is afflicted with a ''magic'' disease that cuts through any and all forms of disease immunity you can acquire.

* In ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', vampires don't merely drain their victims of blood, they transform them by injecting them with actual venom that infects and transforms them. Said venom can be extracted from a vampire and injected to turn someone without needing to bite them.
