Though I'm sure others have done it ... Pandemic with a Settlers mash-up. Each stage of development of Settlements influences disease transmission, and vica-versa for settlement development (lost labor). Early advantage for infecting the Robber. ;-) Port-to-port disease outbreaks.
I think balance can be obtained through a combination of first-infection advantage reduced by neighboring similar infections and multiple infections in that territory.
Instinctively, I'd want to give a rapid mortality rate for multiple-infection squares, but equally fast(-er) recovery. Theoretically, an early game disadvantage becomes a late game advantage. (e.g. Build that port city!)
You Sooo gave me an idea
