The time between the stimulation of a muscle and the start of the contraction phase.
The time which elapses between exposure and the first manifestation of damage.
The time between the initial infection of a cell with a virus and the production and release of new virions via lysis of the bacterial cell (contrast with eclipse period).
The time between exposure to radiation and the appearance of a delayed effect is the latent period. [Back to Module 2
The earliest time after exposure to a carcinogenic agent when a cancer caused by that exposure can be manifested; also called latency period.
1). In epidemiology, latent period refers to the time elapsed from arrival of a dispersal unit at a susceptible plant surface until the formation of the next generation of dispersal units. 2). Incubation period of a virus in an insect. The time between acquisition of the virus and the time when it becomes infective.
Delay between exposure to a disease-causing agent and the appearance of manifestations of the disease. After exposure to ionizing radiation, for instances, there is a latent period of five years, on average, before development of leukemia, and more than twenty years before development of certain other malignant conditions.
the time period between when a plant becomes infected and when it is capable of transmitting the disease to other plants or to a vector
inactive period.
elapsed time between infection and the appearance of disease symptoms. the elapsed time between phage infection or induction and lysis of bacterial cells. the period after acquisition of virus by a vector before it becomes infective; see median latent period. The time from infection to when the individual is infectious to others. In helminths it is termed the pre-patent period. Not the same as the incubation period.
the time that elapses between a stimulus and the response to it
the time that elapses before the presence of a disease is manifested by symptoms
Period of a bacteriophage growth curve that spans the time from penetration through biosynthesis.
the time between exposure to a toxic material and the appearance of a resultant health effect.
The period between the event or exposure which is thought to cause the disease, and the disease being detected
The period of time between the exposure to radiation and the expression of radiation injury. Generally applied to cancer induction from chronic radiation exposure, the latent period can be anywhere from 5-10 years for leukaemia, to 20-30 years for other types of cancers.
The amount of elapsed time between exposure and the first sign of disease symptoms.
The period of time between exposure to ionizing radiation and the appearance of radiation effects.
Also called incubation period, the time between infection with a disease-causing agent and the development of disease.
Time between application of stimulus and a response.
Specifically, in the case of mustard, the period between exposure and onset of signs and symptoms; otherwise, an incubation period.
1. The period between infection and the appearance of new inoculum. (See incubation period.) 2. Elapsed time between phage infection or induction and lysis of bacterial cells. 3. Period after acquisition of virus by a vector before it becomes infective. (, 24)
