title: On modelling microbial infections.
abstract: Several models for the course of microbial infections during the incubation period are examined. Each model fits sore throat incubation data very well. Together with the lack of precision of the resulting parameter estimates, this suggests that incubation data alone are insufficient for elucidating the finer details of the development of diseases.
