In our recent paper, we showed that the incubation period of mpox infections for the 2022 global outbreak and historical data were quite close to each other (8.1 vs. 8.2 days). However, the incubation period for clade I was relatively shorter than for clade II (7.3 vs 8.9 days).

It's of great pleasure to be a part of joint effort on trying to clarify some challenging aspects for estimating epi time intervals of infectious diseases. The project mostly led and mostly realized by Sang Woo Park and Sam Abbott (@seabbs.bsky.social) - many thanks!

Interesting, a study from HK: "We calculated percentages of asymptomatic cases of 41.8% among reported SARS-CoV-2 infections and 72.1% (95% CrI 70.8%–73.0%) among total (reported and unreported) infections."
