You can catch/contract a bacterial or viral ilnesses like the common cold and flu, or say a kidney or bladder infection in any country at any time, including your own. And as dragonflymagic says, a system used to very clean water and foods prepared and cooked in it may have problems with water and food in countries where the water is not of such a high standard. The 'locals', having derived an imunity and tolerance can handle it except in extreme cases. Thus, travel agents and websites suggest bottled water. As far as I'm aware, Portugal is not on any sort of blacklist for water quality. And I cannot recall any endemic serious/fatal diseases, or epidemic outbreaks either. Portugal has a thriving tourist trade and many people visit each year. Contagion (conveying illness) is illness-specific. Flu is highly contagious, and can be passed simply by breathing the same are as someone afflicted, or by handling surfaces which may have been sneezed or coughed on by someone who wasn't even present. Ebola requires body contact of some description, simple sweat can transfer it. Things like hepatitis-B and HIV require exchange of live body fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids) and is thus only transmitted by penetrative sex or (very rarely these days) a transfusion of infected blood. Though saliva (spit) does not support the virus. It is strictly speaking very low-caontagion, requiring intimate contact. Compare ebola, where just touching somebody infected without protective gear is enough. So 'a disease' is a bit open-ended and non-specific. Identify which diseases which concern you and look them up on a reputable medical website is the best bet. But keep in mind that Portugal is certainly not some sort of notorious 'plague country' where your chances of catching something are heightened. You would not need any special inoculating injections (aka 'jabs')if you were considering a holiday in Portugal.

You didnt specify whether just regular illnesses if planning to go on vacation to that country or whether you are concerned about sexual diseases if planning to relocate to live there??
If planning on a regular short term vacation trip, talk to your family doctor and ask if there is anything you need to be vaccinated against before traveling to this country.
Some Americans traveling to other countries have had problems with drinking the local water as it results in getting diarrhea real bad and they must stick with bottled water. People who grew up in a foreign country are used to some things in water or even types of food that would cause a reaction in a visitor and theres no protective shot for that, just wise practices of drinking bottled water when in a foreign country.
If you are talking about going to live there and wondering what sexually transmitted diseases you can catch, it doesnt matter what race you are or what country you are from, if you do not practice safe sex, use condoms and better yet, get yourself tested and your potential new sex partner tested beforehand, then just about anyone has a chance of catching a sexually transmitted disease. If I've totally misunderstood, then please restate your question with a little more info so others here have a better chance to help you with advice.

I'm not sure what you are asking.
Anyone can get an illness. There are very, very, very few illness that you can catch that present differently depending on your ethnic background. All humans are the same species, so we get the same sicknesses.
Someone who is traveling should take the advice of their doctor and do their research to make sure they are prepared for the differences in the water or the sorts of risks they might face in certain parts of the world. You want to make sure you have the right vaccinations, and cures for common travellers illnesses like diarrhea or vomitting. You also want to make sure you have health insurance while you are traveling.

This is a very strange question. Anyone regardless of the color of their skin can get a disease, STD or non STD, anywhere in the world. While certain diseases are linked to people of color it does not mean a person not of color can't be infected with those diseases.
If you can be a little more specific of what disease your speaking of then we might be able to give you a more specific answer.
