There are several implants/powers/qualities that give resistance to disease, but there are no disease rules. How do they work?

http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=17378 talks about this in relation to SR4.
I suspect the SR5 rules will be similar to SR4, so see Augmentation, pp. 129 - 135. |

Tzeentch is correct. They're probably going to be very similar to the rules in SR4. At least if I wind up writing them (and this is far from certain).

There's no reason this isn't a viable option for one (though as far as the list of "viable options for CID's" goes, this is rather tame). |
