The enchantment itself does not cause Major Defile, but it has a 20% base chance to apply Diseased, a secondary effect of Disease Damage that deals direct damage and then applies a Major Defile.
Disease resistance from Glyphs or Racial Passives will make you immune to this secondary effect.
And poisons can be made to apply Minor Defile, but not Major.
