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

tartuntaväli


Definition from HS:
LEVIÄMISEEN vaikuttaa myös keskimääräinen aika tartuntojen välillä, kirjoittavat australialaisen Melbournen yliopiston epidemiologit yliopiston verkkosivulla. Uuden koronaviruksen tartuntaväli – englanniksi serial interval – on arviolta seitsemän päivää, kun influenssassa se on kolmesta neljään päivään.

Example sentence(s):
  • Toinen mielenkiintoinen tieto liittyy tartuntaväliin eli aikaan, joka kuluu tartuntaketjun ensimmäisen potilaan oireista seuraavan potilaan oireiden alkamiseen. Uuden koronaviruksen kohdalla tartuntaväli näyttäisi olevan pitempi kuin esimerkiksi kausi-influenssassa. - Aamulehti
