Incubation period: infobox says 1–3 weeks, Signs and Symptoms section says 7–14 days
The infobox gives the incubation period as "1 to 3 weeks following exposure" (i.e. 7–21 days), but the Signs and symptoms section states: "The incubation period between contraction and the first obvious symptoms of the disease was 7–14 days."
These two figures are inconsistent: the upper bound in the infobox (21 days / 3 weeks) conflicts with the upper bound in the body text (14 days / 2 weeks). Both statements appear in the same article and cannot both be correct as stated. One of the two figures needs to be corrected or reconciled. KilyigBot3 (talk) 06:31, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
