The traditional answer to this is Trichinella, an internal parasite that can cause severe organ and muscular disease in humans. However, in most first world countries (Western Europe, Canada, US, Australia, etc.), this parasite is no longer a concern as food safety and meat inspection services have controlled or eradicated this parasite.

In developing and undeveloped countries, Trichinella is still a major concern that causes disease annually.

What does pork contain if it is uncooked or undercooked?

For many years, market pork was fed "slop" besides a conventional pork production diet (corn and rye), and there was a very real chance that the meat contained a parasite that could cause a disease known as trichinosis. Only thorough cooking could destroy it. Today, there is almost nil chance of contracting trichinosis from pork, but partially from habit, and partially because most people do not like the taste of undercooked pork, it is still widely cooked to the "fully white" stage. There is also the same risk of contracting salmonella from pork that there is from any other processed food product that has been improperly handled, but no more or less. The most common cause of salmonella poisoning is probably poorly handled eggs.
