Typhoid Mary

"Typhoid Mary" was a nickname coined during the mid-20th century to describe a Human female who was responsible for spreading the deadly typhoid pathogen while remaining immune herself.
In 2269, Doctor Leonard McCoy compared Doctor Sevrin – who carried, but was immune to Synthococcus novae – to "Typhoid Mary". ()
When Seven of Nine began exhibiting multiple personalities in 2375 because of a dysfunctional Borg vinculum infected with a virus, The Doctor found that in this case, the "Typhoid Mary" was Species 6339 that carried a synthetic pathogen within their bodies; once they were assimilated by the Borg, the virus spread to the vinculum, which in turn caused havoc, leading to dysfunction and eventually the destruction of the Borg cube's drones.
