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. In biology, the incubation period is the time needed for any particular process of development to take place. For example, the length of time for turtle eggs to hatc [..]

The time between when a person is exposed to an infection and when symptoms appear.

Incubation period is the time between exposure to an infectious agent, and development of signs and symptoms.

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

The time after an infection has been contracted but before any signs are apparent.

the longest period which elapses between the introduction of the pathogen into the animal and the occurrence of the first clinical signs of the 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.

The period between infection and the first signs of illness

The period of time between initial exposure to an infectious microorganism and the development of disease symptoms.

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

is the time interval between exposure to a sufficient cause of the disease and the onset of symptoms. The incubation period = Induction period + Latency period.

The time between the infection of the individual by a microorganisms and the first manifestation of the disease.

The time between invasion of an organism by an infectious agent and the appearance of the first sign or symptom of the disease caused by the agent.
