Routine deworming of horses and donkeys may help prevent cross infection when kept together.

You can get cross infection or push inflammation deeper into the tissues, resulting in scarring.

To reduce the risk of cross infection which is of critical importance in hospitals, the slings are often disposable or patient specific.

"We've had CDC people in with Patou trying to do something about cross infection.

Stress, illness, poor morale, family commitments, back injuries sustained at work and the need to prevent cross infection with patients are the reasons given for absence.

Cross infection between seabirds and deer is uncommon because they do not share the same habitat so the risk to human health of infected Ixodes uriae is minimal.

This study provides evidence that supports the occurrence of intrafamilial cross infection with H pylori, although no comment can be made from these data about the direction of transmission.

In contrast,transient flora (p. 75), often found on the hands of hospital personnel can be pathogens acquired from colonised or infected patients and are often involved in cross infection.

Most training organisations recommend that in any of the methods involving mouth to patient, that a protective barrier is used, to minimise the possibility of cross infection (in either direction).

Identification of those who are RSV-positive can help for: disease surveillance, grouping ("cohorting") people together in hospital wards to prevent cross infection, predicting whether the disease course has peaked yet, reducing the need for other diagnostic procedures (by providing confidence that a cause has been identified).

In the USA, a high degree of statistical significance is needed to provide a convincing argument to U.S. federal government healthcare authorities, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), regarding the effectiveness of copper alloys in reducing microbial loads and cross infection in healthcare environments.
