  2. List of mammalian gestation durations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammalian...

    This is a collection of lists of mammal gestation period estimated by experts in their fields. The mammals included are only viviparous (marsupials and placentals) as some mammals, which are monotremes (including platypuses and echidnas) lay their eggs. A marsupial has a short gestation period, typically shorter than placental.

    This is the extrinsic incubation period of that parasite. If a female mosquito does not survive longer than the extrinsic incubation period, then she will not be able to transmit any malaria parasites. [citation needed] But if a mosquito successfully transfers the parasite to a human body via a bite, the parasite starts developing.

    Even in other birds, ambient temperatures can lead to variation in incubation period. [7] Normally the egg is incubated outside the body. However, in one recorded case, the egg incubation occurred entirely within a chicken. The chick hatched inside and emerged from its mother without the shell, leading to internal wounds that killed the mother ...

  9. Transmission and infection of H5N1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_and_infection...

    The human incubation period of avian influenza A (H5N1) is 2 to 17 days. [37] Once infected, the virus can spread by cell-to-cell contact, bypassing receptors. So even if a strain is very hard to initially catch, once infected, it spreads rapidly within a body. [ 38 ]
