Depending on the disease, the incubation period can be just a few hours or can last for several months. Knowing the incubation period for a disease can help you understand if your child is still at risk of getting sick or if he is in the clear — whether he is exposed to someone with...

This systematic review and meta-analysis estimates the incubation periods of COVID-19 caused by various strains of SARS-CoV-2.
For COVID-19, its average incubation period has a wide range, ranging from 2.87 days [3] to 17.6 days [4]. Determining the duration of the quarantine is difficult. Several studies have provided mean incubation periods of COVID-19 of about 8 days in the mainland of China outside Hubei ...
Incubation periods can vary significantly for a number of reasons. This includes : Method of transmission. Site of entry. Immune response. Reproduction mechanism of infectious agent. Action of infectious agent. Nature of the disease. Incubation Periods of Some Infections ...
Remarkably, many other, completely unrelated, diseases – like typhoid fever or bladder cancer – also have approximately lognormal distributions of incubation periods. This raised the question: why do such different diseases show such a similar curve?Working with a simple mathematical model in which...
After calculation, we will only get few corona-positive cases for the incubation periods 17 and 18 days. After estimating the model parameters, one can estimate the incubation period of confirmed cases over a long period, over a small time interval, and even over a single day. The present ...
