My understanding of the lore/cannon is that the Vilani (by being transplanted) simply just had little to no microorganisms that were directly capable of interacting with a Human. If you take Earth for example we would have much more in common with a Coniferous Pine than, say, a Vilani would with a Vland ape analogue.
Because they didn't have these microorganism that would become accustomed to Vilani (mixed with the heavily processed nature of their food) they just never got sick because it just didn't happen.
In various incidents of people getting sick a common example is cross transmission from animals to people such as a bat eating mangos with Rabies transmitting that to humans because a random person picked it up and ate it (people be starving) or eating sushi for example and getting parasites from the raw food.
Vilani are far more superstitious about their food and what goes into it than we are (the wiki even says something to the effect of a Vilani saying being "It's not food if it isn't cooked") so because of that I imagine that cross transmission too would be very minor from that vector as well.
Additionally what is known about the Ziru Sirka is that the vast majority of people were more tied to their worlds than in the Third Imperium and trade much more limited/restrictive, thus furthering the limit of cross transmission events to prop up.
It's really just the perfect storm of Vilani society fundamentally being incapable of developing any illness and even spreading it, because of the nature of their environment.
