English term or phrase: serial interval
Definition from PubMed:
The serial interval of an infectious disease represents the duration between symptom onset of a primary case and symptom onset of its secondary cases.

Example sentence(s):
  • Estimates of the clinical-onset serial interval of human influenza infection (time between onset of symptoms in an index case and a secondary case) are used to inform public health policy and to construct mathematical models of influenza transmission. NCBI
  • We estimate a mean serial interval for COVID-19 of 3.96 (95% CI 3.53–4.39) days, with an SD of 4.75 (95% CI 4.46–5.07) days, which is considerably lower than reported mean serial intervals of 8.4 days for severe acute respiratory syndrome (5) to 14.6 days (6) for Middle East respiratory syndrome. CDC
  • The COVID-19 serial interval is also shorter than the serial interval of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), indicating that calculations made using the SARS serial interval may introduce bias. ScienceDirect

发病世代间隔


Definition from top1health:
除此之外，另⼀个⽤来了解新兴传染病传播特性的重要资讯为发病世代间隔（serial interval），指的是在互相有传播关系的两个病例中，感染者与被感染者的症状开始⽇之间的间隔，假设图⼀之病⼈B为病⼈A传染，发病世代间隔为病⼈A初出现症状时⾄病⼈B⾸次出现症状的时间间隔。

Example sentence(s):
  • 日前，由北海道大學傳染病流行病學教授西浦博（Hiroshi Nishiura）率領的研究團隊發表研究結果（註：截至2/13日止，該研究仍在期刊同儕審查中，尚未正式發表），推估2019年新型冠狀病毒（COVID-19）的發病世代間隔（serial interval）平均約為3.4天，更進一步推論有一半以上的個案是來自於無症狀傳播。由於該研究引起許多媒體關注，本文將解釋與評讀這篇研究。 - MSN  
  • 台大公卫学院全球卫生硕士学位学程主任林先和说，北海道大学传染流行病学教授西浦博率领的研究团队发表研究成果，推估新冠肺炎的发病世代间隔平均约为3.4天，更进一步推论有一半以上的个案来自于无症状传播。 - Chinatimes
