For people who don't want to read through that, a brief summary (good for people who have, too, it's unclear to me...):
A number of players start with varying degrees of infection, and they are doing their best to cure it (and spread the cure) on a spaceship before any player dies of the disease.
Space themed co-op game name?

The first name that came to
The first name that came to mind was Infection, but I looked, and it is already taken. How about something like Virus, Viral, Fever, or Syndrome?

Cosmic Epidemic?
The Old, Rotting Tin Can in Space?
Alone with a Virus?
Just a few that came to mind.

What about...
What about Plague Ship! I like that idea of mine...it's a good one at that. ;)
On a more serious note, try, Starsick, or Solarsick, or maybe even Sickbay!

Graphic Design
I like sickbay- it has a nice feel to it that i can see on the side of a play test box...
The only problem with sickbay is that it doesn't exude space theme, this though is easily remidied though, I believe, through a good graphic design for the box and for the game's title. I put it out there more jokingly than serious, but then that's why they say, "Never put down an idea until it's been fully explored!"
I'm a little sad though you didn't pick my other much more serious suggestion of Vuluptous Viral Venus. ;)

I Like Sickbay
I will cast my vote for "Sickbay". I really like it. As Kroz said, Sickbay does not automatically bring a space themed game to mind, but that will be the artwork's job. Good luck on your game Treichle!

Sickbay + ...
How about something a little bit more *mysterious* like "Sickbay 91".
You could build a story about the sickbay such that 91 could be the number of days the crew have to survive before the virus spreads uncontrollably (and the patient dies)...
That's like 3 months... Seems like a reasonable amount of time for a illness to kill it's host.
You don't need to explain this... Just a name for everyone else: "Sickbay 91".
Everyone will wonder: "Why 91?" You could keep it a secret... Or build a story around the Sickbay... So people think they know why it is named 91?! Fun stuff like that!

Name Modifier
How about something a little bit more *mysterious* like "Sickbay 91".
I really like that Quest. Sickbay 91 does have a mysterious feeling. It almost sounds like a horror story to me.
Treichle, I would suggest that you follow Quest's advice. Use some modifier like 91 and place it on the front or end of Sickbay. I personally like 91, but you could use something else.

Taking a hint from TV
Since this scenario comes up so often in sci-fi television you could use a quote from a dramatic cliff-hanger as a title:
"Or Everyone Will Die"

If you're playing on a spaceship with an alien infection the name "Alien Pathogen" makes perfect sense. I actually can't see how it would not be relevant.

Still, I like the name "Sickbay" or "Sickbay 91" too. Maybe I've seen too much sci-fi, but when I hear the word sickbay, I immediately think of Spaceship Enterprise or at least some sort of spaceship. It is the epitome of a space-themed name-- at least for me.
