Variability of Zika Virus Incubation Period in Humans
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2018Co-Authors: Toscane Fourié, Gilda Grard, Isabelle Leparc-goffart, Sebastien Briolant, Albin FontaineAbstract:Zika virus (ZIKV) has recently emerged in numerous tropical countries worldwide. In this study, we estimated ZIKV Incubation Period distribution using time-to-event models adapted to interval-censored data based on declared date of travels from 123 symptomatic travelers returning from areas with active ZIKV transmission. The median time and 95th percentile of ZIKV Incubation Period was estimated to 6.8 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.8-7.7 days) and 15.4 days (95% CI, 12.7-19.7 days), respectively. Determining the Incubation Period for ZIKV is beneficial to improve protection guidelines.

Incubation Period of ebola hemorrhagic virus subtype zaire
Osong public health and research perspectives, 2011Co-Authors: Martin Eichner, Scott F. Dowell, Nina FireseAbstract:Objectives Ebola hemorrhagic fever has killed over 1300 people, mostly in equatorial Africa. There is still uncertainty about the natural reservoir of the virus and about some of the factors involved in disease transmission. Until now, a maximum Incubation Period of 21 days has been assumed.

Incubation Period of Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus
2011Co-Authors: Martin Eichner, Scott F. Dowell, Nina FireseAbstract:Objectives: Ebola hemorrhagic fever has killed over 1300 people, mostly in equatorial Africa. There is still uncertainty about the natural reservoir of the virus and about some of the factors involved in disease transmission. Until now, a maximum Incubation Period of 21 days has been assumed. Methods: We analyzed data collected during the Ebola outbreak (subtype Zaire) in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of the Congo, in 1995 using maximum likelihood inference and assuming a log-normally distributed Incubation Period. Results: The mean Incubation Period was estimated to be 12.7 days (standard deviation 4.31 days), indicating that about 4.1% of patients may have Incubation Periods longer than 21 days. Conclusion: If the risk of new cases is to be reduced to 1% then 25 days should be used when investigating the source of an outbreak, when determining the duration of surveillance for contacts, and when declaring the end of an outbreak.
