Abstract
Estimating serial interval (SI) and incubation period (IP) is necessary to interpret transmission trends and optimize contact tracing and isolation measures. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize the evidence for serial interval and incubation period of the monkeypox virus and further estimated the SI and IP of each clade.
