The terms "intrinsic incubation period" and "extrinsic incubation period" are used in vector-borne diseases. The intrinsic incubation period is the time taken by an organism to complete its development in the definitive host. The extrinsic incubation period is the time taken by an organism to develop in the intermediate host. [citation needed]
Egg incubation is the process by which an egg, of oviparous (egg-laying) animals, develops an embryo within the egg, after the egg's formation and ovipositional release. Egg incubation is done under favorable environmental conditions, possibly by brooding and hatching the egg.
Egg incubation, sitting on or brooding the eggs of birds and other egg-laying animals to hatch them; Incubation (psychology), the process of thinking about a problem subconsciously while being involved in other activities; Incubation period, medical term for the time between being exposed to infection and showing first symptoms
The incubation period varies from species to species, around 40 days for the smallest storm-petrels but longer for the largest species; for albatrosses it can span 70 to 80 days, which is the longest incubation period of any bird. [72] A Laysan albatross feeds its chick. The parent pumps food from a modified foregut, the proventriculus, and the ...
By convention, a communicable disease outbreak is declared over when a period of twice the incubation period of the infectious disease has elapsed without identification of any new case, however, for organisms with a short incubation period (e.g. fewer than ten days), a period of three times the incubation period is preferred. [11]
The serial interval in the epidemiology of communicable (infectious) diseases is the time between successive cases in a chain of transmission. [1]The serial interval is generally estimated from the interval between clinical onsets (if observable), in which case it is the 'clinical onset serial interval'.
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.
The bioactive compounds could be injected into the egg via air sac, albumen, yolk sac, amnion, and allantoic fluid [1].. In ovo is Latin for in the egg.In medical usage it refers to the growth of live virus in chicken egg embryos for vaccine development for human use, as well as an effective method for vaccination of poultry against various Avian influenza and coronaviruses.
