If the purpose of gloves is recommended when exposure to body fluids or chemicals, it is not recommended for routine activities: indeed, the skin is a warm and humid atmosphere conducive to the development of germs, and Moreover, it is better than clean hands dirty gloves. Note that after about twenty minutes, the gloves become porous.
It should also limit the growth of pathogens in and on the body and housing, adequate sanitation by:

• Personal hygiene: wash, brush their teeth
• Household hygiene: having a refrigerator creating cold enough, defrosted and cleaned regularly, wash the cutlery, plates and glasses after use, store garbage in dedicated bins and collected regularly by municipal, sewage waste into a septic tank emptied regularly or to sewers, storage and cleaning of residential ventilation to reduce indoor air pollution (dust mites, volatile organic compounds) and therefore allergies and respiratory diseases.
• Monitor and treat parasites (facilitate certain infectious diseases, viral or bacterial). For example, in pigs, Ascaris increases the risk of bronchopneumonia, the hemorrhagic enteritis Trichuris, Oesophagostomum the salmonella, Strongyloides mullet, the Metastrongylus swine influenza.

Local authorities play an important role as regards collective hygiene, with the management of water to provide drinking water, organizing the collection and processing of garbage, the rendering of animal carcasses and Police funerals and burials (condition of transportation and storage of bodies before cremation or burial, management of cemeteries and crematoria).

An infectious disease is a disease caused by transmission of a micro-organism: viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungus, yeast. Viruses are not alive, but as a prion, which is not really a micro-organism they have properties like infectious, and therefore pathogenic effects.
The study of infectious agents is the medicine, microbiology, epidemiology and landscape epidemiology. In nature, infectious diseases develop in all living organisms (animals, plants, fungi, micro-organisms .. well known viruses virus). As Interaction lasting, infectious diseases are among the feedback loops that maintain the relative stability (dynamic equilibrium) ecosystems, most pathogens co-evolve with their hosts over millions of years. Their mode of transmission is variable and depends on their tanks (human, animal, environmental) and sometimes of vectors (disease vector).
They are more or less contagious; For example, tetanus is an infection caused by clostridium tetani, a bacterium that is found in the earth. There is no transmission, infection occurs when bacteria enters the body through a wound contaminated. A vaccine exists against this disease and is mandatory in France for all children of school age. Another example, malaria is caused by a parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (there are other Plasmodii), transmitted among humans through a mosquito, Anopheles. The reservoir of the parasite is human, but there is no transmission. There is no vaccine. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person by airborne mechanism: the reservoir is human and it is contagious. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs or STD for sexually transmitted diseases) are transmitted during sexual intercourse.
Many microbes live normally and necessarily in our gut and on our skin and become infectious at certain occasions. Contact with microbes is necessary for the maintenance and functioning of the immune system.
