A doença é transmitida para o Great Link quando Odo a visita no final da 4ª temporada " Broken Link ". Na seção Trivialidades :
Presumably, Section 31's plan to have Odo infect the Great Link with the morphogenic virus he was infected with during "Homefront" comes to fruition in this episode, although it would not be until the seventh season episode "Treachery, Faith and the Great River" when symptoms of the infection would begin to show themselves. Dialogue in this episode implies that it was the Great Link that caused Odo's ailment, not Section 31; the script for "To the Death" reveals that Weyoun infected Odo with the virus that afflicted him here when he slapped Odo on the shoulder during a conversation, making his illness here different from the virus created by Section 31.
