During this stage, the individual may not exhibit any apparent symptoms, and the disease may not be
Factors that influence the duration of the latency period include the virulence of the disease-causing agent,
The sairastumisvaiheessa is an essential concept in epidemiology, and understanding the latency period can help healthcare
