Tasmanian devils do not carry any diseases which may be passed on to humans.

However, they are at risk of Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), a fatal cancer which is transmitted to other Tasmanian devils through biting.

Currently, the Devil Facial tumour Disease (DFTD) cannot spread to humans. Most diseases animals get cannot be transferred to humans. Occasionally, diseases mutate, and become transferable to humans, but this is highly unlikely with the DFTD.
