Comment: this is an  piece of garbage.  I cannot emphasize that enough. '''garbage'''   The problem is the loosey-goosey scope of "associated with", which could mean anything from lunatic charlatan claims to mildly FRINGE claims (like ALS has an infectious disease etiology) to things with decent but not certain evidence to things that are dead certain like the causal link between HPV and cervical cancer or HIV and AIDS. But this article is WP at its absolute worst. Please put this sick animal down, already

Comment: but is it possible to rename the article to something like, List of diseases possibly induced by infectious pathogens (or something better than "possibly"), so it's clear these are suspected, but not yet proven? I'm not an expert but I looked down the list and it seems legit, as I know in some cases with mysterious diseases, exposure to pathogens is theorized as a cause,  and it says so in their respective articles. For example, Chronic fatigue syndrome#Pathophysiology states "infection by viruses and pathogenic bacteria" is a possible risk factor. I don't believe this to be  since there is significant research into what causes these diseases, and new discoveries are being found. Additionally many editors have contributed to this article and it is heavily sourced
