Oh there have been plenty.
STI's for example including HIV (human Immunodeficiency virus) has definitely boosted the awareness of caution and avoiding risky behaviors in both sexual terms and reducing exposure to bodily fluid via blood in work, or IVDA (intravenous drug abuse) needle sharing.
Additionally potentially dangerous and very infectious diseases like the Flu have put an emphasis on the very basic disease prevention of washing ones hands, covering your sneezes, wearing face masks during exposure, and getting vaccinated as well.
And these are merely two examples of how hundreds of disease shaped out infection control protocols and norms.
HIV crossed from chimps to humans in the 1920's in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. This was probably as a result of chimps carrying the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), a virus closely related to HIV, being hunted and eaten by people living in the area.
