From what we know, Helminth is the source of the specific strain of Infestation that turned people into the Prime and Umbra Warframes. When the Tenno started mass-producing Warframes, rather than turning people into them, they used Infested tissue from Helminth to build them.

What we have on our ships is one of several instances of the Helminth strain.
