  2. Latent period (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_(epidemiology)

    The period from the time of infection to the time of becoming infectious is called the pre-infectious period or the latent period. During the pre-infectious or latent period, a host may or may not show symptoms (i.e. the incubation period may or may not be over), but in both cases, the host is not capable of infecting other hosts i.e ...

  3. Infectious period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_period

    The relationship between the latent period, the infectious period (the period of communicability) and the incubation period. In some diseases, as depicted in this diagram, the latent period is shorter than the incubation period. A person can transmit an infection without showing any signs of the disease.

  4. Incubation period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period

    In a typical infectious disease, the incubation period signifies the period taken by the multiplying organism to reach a threshold necessary to produce symptoms in the host. While latent or latency period may be synonymous, a distinction is sometimes made whereby the latent period is defined as the time from infection to infectiousness. Which ...

    Latent period – time interval between exposure to a pathogen and when the individual/host becomes infectious, capable of transmitting pathogens. Natural reservoir – animal population or environment in which a pathogen normally lives and multiplies and can be transmitted directly or indirectly to humans.

  6. Serial interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_interval

    If the distribution of timing of transmission events during the infectious period is not skewed around its mean, then the average serial interval is calculated as the sum of the average latent period (from infection to infectiousness) and half the average infectious period. [citation needed]

    There are many modifications of the SIR model, including those that include births and deaths, where upon recovery there is no immunity (SIS model), where immunity lasts only for a short period of time (SIRS), where there is a latent period of the disease where the person is not infectious (SEIS and SEIR), and where infants can be born with ...
