My thought would be that getting the level of international coordination required would be extremely hard. (I am speaking from a position of ignorance here)
Maybe there could be groups of countries that agree to coordinate on this, and isolate themselves physically from countries outside their own groups?
I guess there might be ways to deliver disease through the air or wild (wild animals), or just sneaking into a country. The solution to that is domes. :P

At this point, that would be at least as easy a task as removing the 400 million firearms in private American hands.
IOW, good luck with that.
