As Norm exactly points out many diseases are present in the aquarium hobby
that are not found in the wild in North America. Sure, birds, boats,
fisherpeople etc etc have always potentially spread diseases around. So, just
think, once a new one gets out there what's gunna stop it's spread? Better to
stop it at the source.
