What you said was kinda like saying The Swedes, unlike the carpenters, do not follow the religion but they've never documented infestation. It made no sense.

Finally, its mentioned that Protoss having purity of form, are uninfestable.

Khalai is the name of the worker class and also all protoss that follow the Khala it has two meanings. Purity of form like previously stated is what made the xel naga want to combine the protoss with a purity of essence race (like the zerg) so that would make them more infestable.

On the contrary, it could make the Protoss immune to the virus like STS said.

Except for that is wrong because the lore says its wrong. You guys are going against wahts already been established and derailing the thread. The reason why protoss aren't infestable is because of the khala, the Nerazim don't follow the khala and no expanation has been given as to why they don't get infested.

We need to clarify here. The Khala protects the Khalai Protoss from being assimilated and infested (assimilation is getting the genome of the species absorbed into the zerg gene pool, infestation meanwhile is just getting infected so the zerg can control but cannot reproduce the infected organism) by the Zerg.

In addition to the Khala, the protoss are naturally resistant to disease (the hyper-evolutionary virus included) that death by disease is rare. This is the reason why the Nerazim are immune even if they are not followers of the Khala.

edit: grammar and typo

Sounds reasonable if you could just show me where this is all explained? I can't find it in any of the books or anything it has been bothering me.

This definition used to be the one used in Starcraft wiki a few years ago. Scroll down to 4th paragraph in 'physiology'.
Protoss
The others are explained in the link in the OP.
