There are a few known deceases that can be passed onto humans from sugar gliders.
This is the link that I got some of the following info from
http://www.cfc-efc.ca/docs/canps/10001_en.htm
Salmonella can cause severe diarrhea and vomiting. In very young children and older people, it can cause death.
Ringworm is transmitted by direct contact with fungal spores. Pets may carry spores without any sign of disease.
Toxoplasmosis :If you are healthy, the symptoms may be fever, feeling generally unwell or swollen lymph nodes.
If you are pregnant and if it is your first exposure, the infection can cause birth defects, miscarriage or even death of the baby.
If you have a weakened immune system, toxoplasmosis can lead to potentially life-threatening brain infections.
I have a book somehwere that explains some Zoonoses so will see of I can find it. I also know that mange can be passed onto humans. So any mite infestation can be passed on.
