Human disease or turtle disease? Turtles can get colds and suffer from other viruses and bacteria but most of these are not transmitted to humans, at least not easily. However, they are known to carry salmonella which doesn't much bother them but can infect humans. For that reason you should always wash your hands after handling a turtle or other reptile.
