A two-scale model of Legionnaires’ disease to predict incubation periods and risk of symptomatic disease

2026-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular pathogen that causes Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia acquired primarily through contaminated water systems. Public health interventions rely on accurate estimates of the incubation period and dose–response (DR) relationship, yet currently used approaches in the literature underestimate incubation periods by assuming Markovian rupture times for infected macrophag...
