I think it's actually pretty likely that there is at least one tribe of nestkeepers somewhere in Pandyssia.

The nestkeeper function is an active contributor to their survival. Also, given that the nestkeepers retain core human functions and basic human cognitive abilities, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that they will feel a need to reproduce before dying, if the opportunity presented itself. There's no real reason that their need to copulate would be adversely affected by the parasites, as it actually greatly benefits the bloodfly colony by providing new hosts and protection.

As for how this leads to a tribe, it would only take a matter of time in a relatively unpopulated area for these little bastards to go unchecked, indirectly increasing the number of nestkeepers through reproduction and poor unlucky souls who wander too near.
