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.
