This episode points to something very curious in the fictional Futurama universe [ Adenoviridae ]. Zoiberg for some illogical reason (lacking human DNA) also catches the human virus (unless Zoiberg added some human organs inside himself to the redundant grab-bag of undigested alien organs he already contains and those organs are causing Zoiberg's illness). Morbo, the television host-monster also catches the adenovirus (although it could also be an [Influenza ] variant). In order for Morbo to catch a human virus, he would require human DNA and could just be a deliberately DNA-modded reshaped human pretending to be a non-monster along with his wife. The guinea pig can indeed catch a variant of the adenovirus, known as the guinea pig adenovirus (GPAdV). Note that adenoviridae have documented cross-species transmission vectors.<br /><br />
