They mentioned it back all the way in The Second Dream quest. The Tenno are immune to the Infestation because of the violent energies inside them. The Infestation actually has to get into its host to kill and change them, and the energy of the void kille infested cells. So while they probably could damage the Operator in some way ((i.e. The War Within)) that would make using their void powers impossible and assimilate them that way, the Operators are relatively safe from the Infestation
