Actually, it means "infection", but can be used as a definition of a person who poisons other people's lives.
Yes, one can use it as a curse or in jest.
"Вот зараза!" says me when I can't handle something.
"Ах ты зараза..." somebody in a movie can hiss to another person, thinking that he/she did something impredicatable.
Etc.
зараза - pest
