in some situations, the saliva could transmit infectious diseases that the WW is immuse... but the saliva could transmit other... in effect, the gifts of BSD ( black spiral dancers in WWa) are oriented in the fact of transmit madness by saliva and bites...

A werewolf with rabies?
I could imagine that they could easily <i>act</i> like an animal with rabies to like, scare something off, that would be useful.
But actually having rabies? I pity the werewolf that gets it. Rabies is a virus that when you actually get to the point of foaming at the mouth, dementia,etc, is incurable for both humans and animals, leading to death or severe brain damage. I imagine other neurologically damaging viruses would have similar end results as well.
Sooo....unless I take the overused unexplained fantasy view, or that a werewolf bite= a genetic mutation specialized to when wolf and human genetic information is mixed, that causes disease immunity and [blah blah blah] view , the whole idea of transmitting viruses through saliva/bites, with the power to make somebody go mad, that the werewolf is <i>totally</i> "immune" to.....I really wouldn't have a reason to believe it could happen in a world decently resembling reality.
But lets just say the saliva somehow got mixed with a large batch with hallucinogenic drugs. Then it would maybe work. One bite, and you can take a nice trip into the Magic Theater and meet the Immortals! (God, that would be something SO odd...and kinda of pointless...but yet something I could see fitting into a book like Steppenwolf, hehe.)
