The real life scientific reason for not worrying about viruses is that the viruses can't hurt humans. The virus would not have the genetic design to infect us. It would get in our system, look around and say, quite frankly, 'WTF?'. Unless humans have lived in the same area as the virus for a sufficient amount of time, the virus won't know how to infect us. The time needed would depend on how the virus is designed before human contact, and how close, biologically, humans are to the creatures the virus normally infects.

And even if there were a virus that could get into their systems, they got the decon and sick bay on the ship, and those would've gotten them cured pretty quick (like they always do).
