The time taken between a micro-organism infecting an organism and manifestation of disease in that organism.

Time interval between infection (i.e., introduction of the infectious agent into the susceptible host) and the onset of the first symptom of illness known to be caused by the infectious agent.

the period of time it takes between when you first contact a virus or bacteria and when you first start showing signs (symptoms) that you have it.

The period of time between the actual exposure to the disease-causing agent and the first signs of disease.

the maximum period of time elapsing from the moment of a person's infection by pathogens of an infectious disease and until emergence of initial symptoms of this disease

The time between exposure to an infectious disease agent and the onset of clinical signs of disease.

The time interval between the initial exposure to infection and appearance of the first symptom or sign of disease.

The time during which incubation takes place.

Interval between the initial contact with an infectious agent and the occurrence of the first symptoms associated with the infection.

time during which a virus or bacteria develops in the body before symptoms appear

is the amount of time that elapses between infection and the development of symptoms. It varies for the different hepatitis viruses.

the period between infection and the appearance of signs of the disease

The length of time from when an egg is laid until it hatches.

The time period that goes from the first day a person gets an STD until they start to get sick. Depending on the disease, this can be as short as a few days or more than 10 years. Even though an infected person may feel perfectly healthy and show no symptoms during a disease's INCUBATION PERIOD, they still can still give the disease to another person.

The time it takes for symptoms to appear after the invasion or ingestion of a pathogen.

The period of time from exposure to the onset of symptoms. See Natural history of disease and Latency period.

The time between exposure to an infectious disease and the period when symptoms appear.

The time period between infection and development of clinical symptoms.

A disease incubation period is the period of time between the actual infection and the first signs of disease.

the interval of time between infection by a microorganism and the first signs or symptoms of the illness.

the time it takes for symptoms of a disease to become apparent in an infected individual.

The period is the time between the egg being laid and the nestling hatching.

The time from when an animal is first infected with an organism until symptoms develop. For most diseases this is a few days but for encephalopies and Johnes disease for example the incubation period can be years.

The period of time after exposure to a disease that it takes for the host to display symptoms of that disease.

After a person is infected with bacteria or viruses, it often takes days or weeks for the infection to cause symptoms and an obvious illness. The time between infection and the start of symptoms is called the incubation period.

Time between infection by a pathogen and appearance of symptoms.

the time between an initial exposure to an infectious agent and the development of symptoms of disease.

The time from contact with infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites) to onset of disease.

In medicine, the time from the moment of exposure to an infectious agent until signs and symptoms of the disease appear. For example, the incubation period of chickenpox is 14-16 days. See the entire definition of Incubation period

The time interval between the initial infection with a pathogen and the appearance of the first symptom or sign of disease.

The interval of time between infection by a microorganism and the onset of the illness or the first symptoms of the illness. In malaria, the incubation is between the mosquito bite and the first symptoms. Incubation periods range from 7 to 40 days, depending on species.

The period of time between penetration of a host by a pathogen and the first appearance of symptoms on the host. (, 24)

The period of time elapsing between entrance or introduction of microorganisms in the animal body and the development of symptoms and signs of an infectious disease.

The interval between the time somebody is infected with a disease and the appearance of its first symptoms.

A period of subclinical or inapparent pathologic changes following exposure, ending with the onset of symptoms of infectious disease.

The time it takes for the egg to hatch, normally about 21 days, but also the time from exposure to a disease-causing agent until the first symptom appears.

The period between infection and the appearance of symptoms of a disease.

The time lag between infection and appearance of symptoms. During this time, infectious agents are multiplying but are insufficient in number to cause symptoms or infect other people. Incubation periods range from a few days (influenza) to months (hepatitis).

Period of time between infection and its symptoms.

The time between initial contact with an infectious agent and the appearance of the first sign or symptom of disease.

Incubation period, also called the latent period or latency period, is the time elapsed between exposure to a pathogenic organism, or chemical or radiation, and when symptoms and signs are first apparent. The period may be as short as minutes, to as long as thirty years in the case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
