Remember, apart from the feral yokai that are at the level of animals, Reimu has observed that the yokai of Gensokyo are far removed from the classical definition we understand them by. I believe that she refers to them as "odd people with yokai traits," or something along those lines.

Even still, there are additional questions to be asked, now that this aspect has been raised. The humans that get imported into Gensokyo aren't exactly valued members of society. You have petty criminals who won't be missed and the suicidal who seek death. Perhaps the yokai wash their hands of any ethical problems by reasoning that they are doing these individuals a service (in the case of the suicidal) or doing humanity a service (in the case of the criminals). Death isn't being delivered to anyone not seeking or deserving of it, after all.

They don't have to concern themselves with issues of disease, however.
