Vermiculture composting involves using worms to break down organic matter added to the compost. As such, there are no "diseases" in the compost.

However one source cautioned to not let dogs or cats use the compost pile for urination and defecation, since animal wastes *could* add harmful bacteria that can colonize in the heat and nutrient-rich environment of a compost pile.
