If a single biological male were to repopulate the Earth with 5 billion birthing people, several diseases could potentially spread through various mechanisms. Here are some scenarios:

  • Toxoplasmosis: Cause: Infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Transmission: People often get infected by consuming undercooked meat or contaminated water. Risk: If the male carrier is infected, he could transmit it to the birthing individuals through contaminated food or water. Impact: Toxoplasmosis can cause severe lung or brain disease, especially for those with weakened immunity.
  • Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Examples: Chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, HIV, and syphilis. Transmission: These infections are primarily spread through sexual contact. Risk: If the male carrier has any of these STIs, they could be transmitted to the birthing individuals during sexual activity. Impact: STIs can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
  • Postnatal Infections: Examples: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B and C, West Nile virus, and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV). Transmission: These infections can be spread from parent to baby after delivery, including through breastfeeding. Risk: If the male carrier is infected, these pathogens could be transmitted to the newborns via breast milk. Impact: Postnatal infections can have varying effects on the health of the birthing individuals and their babies.
  • Direct and Indirect Contact Diseases: Transmission: Infectious diseases can spread from person to person through direct or indirect contact. Risk: If the male carrier is a carrier of any contagious disease, it could be transmitted to the birthing individuals through close contact. Impact: Diseases like influenza, common cold, and skin infections could proliferate. In summary, the male carrier’s health and exposure to infectious agents would significantly impact the health of the birthing population. Preventive measures, hygiene, and medical interventions would be crucial to mitigate disease spread in this hypothetical scenario.
