Estimating SARS Incubation Period [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 To the Editor: In a recent article, Meltzer described a simulation method to estimate the incubation period for patients infected with SARS with multiple contact dates (1). In brief, he assumed a uniform distribution of all possible incubation periods derived from these contact dates for each patient and randomly selected an incubation period from all ...

SARS-CoV-2 Incubation Period during the Omicron BA.5–Dominant Period in Japan [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 The mean virus incubation period during the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.5–dominant period in Japan was 2.6 (95% CI 2.5–2.8) days, which was less than during the Delta-dominant period. Incubation period correlated with shared meals and adult infectors.

Incubation Period for Neuroinvasive Toscana Virus Infections [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 Toscana virus (TOSV) is an emerging pathogen in the Mediterranean area and is neuroinvasive in its most severe form. Basic knowledge on TOSV biology is limited. We conducted a systematic review on travel-related infections to estimate the TOSV incubation

Within-host mathematical modelling of the incubation period of Salmonella Typhi [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Mechanistic mathematical models are often employed to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases within a population or within a host. They provide estimates that may not be otherwise available.

Evolutionary dynamics of incubation periods [PDF]
eLife, 2017 The incubation period for typhoid, polio, measles, leukemia and many other diseases follows a right-skewed, approximately lognormal distribution. Although this pattern was discovered more than sixty years ago, it remains an open question to explain its ubiquity. Here, we propose an explanation based on evolutionary dynamics on graphs. For simple models

A delayed modulation of solar ultraviolet radiation on the COVID‐19 transmission reflects an incubation period [PDF]
Meteorological Applications, 2022 Laboratory experiments have revealed the meteorological sensitivity of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) virus. However, no consensus has been reached about how outdoor meteorological conditions modulate the virus transmission as it is also ...

Hypothalamic transcriptome profile from laying period to incubation period of Changshun green-shell laying hens [PDF]
Poultry Science: Incubation behavior in chickens is closely associated with hypothalamus. Here, RNA sequencing of hypothalamus from Changshun green-shell laying hens, an indigenous chicken breed from China, in egg-laying period (LP) and incubation period (BP) was ...
