 Dunno about diseases, but I recall wraiths consume food more slowly than other
races.  there is in fact no way at present time to make a race that requires no
food at all - you can just give them a very high sustenance value so that their
food consumption is much lower.

 The idea of wraiths (and fireborns for that matter) eating food is a bit odd -
certainly if it is food of the same type as the other races.  You could
certainly see wraith's food to effectively be the lifeforce of creatures they
kill - doing that would require a bit of code modification.  

 Hard to say what a fireborns source of food should be - in theory something
like fire, or maybe flamable liquids (booze) at least?  Having it fire would be
a bit odd - it just means that the fireborn casts fireball on itself to eat. 
OTOH, that may give them a use for wands of fireball and the like if they don't
want to burn up their spellpoints to do it.
