For example, The vast amounts of porous lava rock throughout the entire east rift zone would allow for a time release of thousands of toxic or arsenic "mud boils" to surface. The geothermal ground released substance could then act like an animal layer in the area, to eventually create a super fungi mutation.

Sorry, that's not a likely disease vector at all. You need more science and less science fiction (B movie style at that).
