 Pediatric Advisor 2005.2: Incubation and Contagious Periods of Infections
The contagious period is the amount of time during which a sick child can give the disease to others.
This content is reviewed periodically and is subject to change as new health information becomes available.
If your child was around someone who is sick and the incubation time has gone by, then your child was probably not infected and won't get sick.

In reviewing these data, it is evident that the positive results were of greater value than the negative ones, although it is also apparent that there was sufficient consistency among the negative results reported by various investigators to give them considerable worth.
However, it was impossible to apply some of the information previously gained without confusing the present circumstances.
The importance of this was augmented by the tremendous use of human blood and plasma and stimulated the investigation of the period of infectivity of patients with this disease.

 NSDL Metadata Record -- ''The Incubation Period for Void Swelling and its Dependence on Temperature, Dose Rate, and ...
Void swelling in structural materials used for nuclear reactors is characterized by an incubation period whose duration largely determines the usefulness of the material for core components.
Thus, a theory of incubation must treat time-dependent void nucleation in combination with dislocation evolution, in which the sink strengths of voids and dislocations change in concert.
Irradiation dose rate and temperature also affect the duration of incubation.

 Incubation period
In order to help you identify the incubation period of the pathogen responsible for this outbreak, you will need to think about when you think each victim was exposed to the pathogen and when they actually started feeling sick.
Some diseases, like various kinds of food poisoning, have a very rapid incubation period of less than 24 hours; whereas some other diseases, like HIV, have longer incubation periods of months or years.
You may not be able to determine the exact incubation period for each host, but you can determine what the maximum possible incubation period could be.

Knowledge about the incubation period can also help physicians make diagnostic decisions about whether the presenting symptoms and clinical history of a patient point to SARS or to some other disease.
Estimates of the incubation period are further complicated by the fact that some patients have had opportunities for multiple exposures to the virus.

With both viruses, the induction of neurologic disease is dependent on inoculation during the perinatal period.
Since the length of the incubation period of this disease appears to be a function of the relative level of CNS infection, we have attempted to identify the viral and host factors which determine the relative level of virus infection of the CNS.
These results suggested that the relative level of CNS infection was determined very early in life and appeared to be a function of a dynamic balance between the kinetics of virus replication in the periphery and a progressively developing restriction of virus replication in the CNS.

The incubation period for bird flu normally ranges from a few hours to several days and may extend up to a maximum of 21 days.

There is likelihood of the bird being infectious during the incubation period.

During field studies on the White-winged Dove in the Phoenix district, the writer had frequently been puzzled by nests in which incubation appeared to be erratic, uncertain, or intermittent, and in which healthy young White-winged Doves were finally found; in other instances incubation continued for several days more than the normal White-wing hatching period.
This procedure continued day after day to our great amusement; we had little thought that anything would result.
