Well yes, Rhino Prime's Codex plus others helped us piece together the assumption that Tenno are the result of humans exposed to the Technochyte virus, but that's not to say they're necessarily similar to the Infested. Or rather, they are but there is a major difference, that being the assumed mutation of said virus, due to the fact that in Dark Sector it behaved differently (Causing humans to become stony or metal-y) whereas in Warframe it causes the amalgamation and hivemind of flesh that is the Infested.

Hints at this are also in the taunts of Lephantis, who claims 'we are of the same flesh'.
