Question -   Which are the cat diseases or infections who can be
transmitted to humans?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabies, Ringworm, Chlamydia, Roundworms, Hookworms

That is about all I can think of.

=========================================================
There was a recent inquiry about diseases borne by cats. There is an 
article in the Journal of the American Medical Association Volume 287(20), 
the most current issue on "Cat Scratch Diseases" which may add to the 
response already given.
