Additional field(s): Medical (general), Journalism
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

Definition from own experience or research:
σε ένα λοιμώδες νόσημα, ο χρόνος ανάμεσα στην εμφάνιση των συμπτωμάτων σε άτομο που μολύνει ένα άλλο και στο μολυσμένο άτομο

Example sentence(s):
  • Για να μετρήσουν το σειριακό διάστημα, οι επιστήμονες εξέτασαν το χρόνο που απαιτείται για να εμφανιστούν τα συμπτώματα σε δύο άτομα με τον ιό: το άτομο που μολύνει ένα άλλο και το μολυσμένο δεύτερο άτομο. - futurology.gr  
  • Επιπλέον, βρήκαν ότι το σειριακό διάστημα (serial interval) του ιού, ο χρόνος δηλαδή για να εμφανιστούν τα συμπτώματα του ιού σε δύο σειριακά κρούσματα, είναι 4 ημέρες. Το μικρό σειριακό διάστημα του κορονοϊού σημαίνει ότι θα έχουμε ξεσπάσματα της επιδημίας που θα είναι δύσκολο να τεθούν υπό έλεγχο. - matia.gr
