Which mortal might become nemfected?
Bad Alias:

Some insist that mortals can't be Infected at all, but I don't see why that would be the case, and haven't seen any evidence beyond "No confirmation of Infected Mortals = Can't Be Done." Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Another part of the argument is that Nemesis in fairies gives them the ability to chose, so it can't do it to mortals. Great argument? Not really because Nemesis could do something different for different groups.
Justine is an interesting possibility.
Arjan:
I think:
* Nemesis is a spiritual infection. In that sense it looks a bit like the fallen from the coin or a demonic possession. It is your nature that is invaded and changed.
* Nemesis can not just multiply the power of the infective stuff otherwise a mass epidemic would have ended this reality long ago.
* An inanimate objext can be a carrier if it is an object of power. A human is probably easier to infect if the human has power, a wizard
* All power from you add from outside yourself has the possibility to change you. Thomas is influenced by the power he takes and Justine can manage it by selecting the donors. If you take outsider power into yourself it will not just influence your moods, it has a personality of its own. It is a kind of possession.

I think it is more simple than that and at the same time more complicated. Why would Mab say, "it was the Knife?" Because apparently Nemesis needs a vector to deliver it. We know pretty much how Lea and Maeve were infected, however at this point we have no information on how Cat Sith became so. It isn't something air born apparently or the whole Winter Court would have been infected, so personal contact? Or is the infection programmed to target specific victims? The latter seems most likely, perhaps easy to spot an infected Maeve or Lea, but Cat Sith? He flew under the radar for some time before Harry realized something was very wrong with him.. Scarier still, if he hadn't taken the risk of that meeting with Titania and learned about Nemesis, would he have figure it out in time?

When Cat Sith got infected there was an actual outsider available. I think they can only infect a limited number of people before the amount of infective power is diluted to such an extend that it becomes less efficient. They have to get it to this side of the wall.

That is assuming that the Outsiders are behind the infestation. There is evidence from what was going on at the Gates with Rashid that they can at least spread the infestation to Winter's soldiers.
