They've said only Blutbaden can be born with that defect.
There was no word about what a scratch from a Lycanthrope can or can't do to humans.
Of course Wu will not transform into Blutbaden now, but - according to Werewolf mythology - he can of course become a Werewolf by full moon.
That's neither contradictory nor a plot hole imo.
Of course that's what they're going to do with it. I'm just saying its a suspension-of-disbelief-interrupting oversight to say its a genetic disease then to treat it like a communicable disease. Its contradictory in that regard because it flies in the face of basic medical science. If they had just called it a magic Wesen disease, then we're great. If they had just not said anything at all, then we could assume its just magic, we're usually fine with that on this show. But they deliberately wrapped it in the terminology of medical science, which creates certain expectations among viewers that were not subsequently met.
You cant catch a defect.
