title: Time From Infection to Disease and Infectiousness for Ebola Virus Disease, a Systematic Review.
abstract: We systematically reviewed the literature to estimate the incubation and latent periods of Ebola virus disease. We found limited epidemiological data from individuals with discrete 1-day exposures. Available data suggest that the incubation and latent periods may differ, and mathematical models may be improved by distinguishing between the two periods.
