Serial interval of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infections [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020 Objective: To estimate the serial interval of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) from information on 28 infector-infectee pairs. Methods: We collected dates of illness onset for primary cases (infectors) and secondary cases (infectees) from published research ...

Serial Interval of COVID-19 among Publicly Reported Confirmed Cases [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 We estimate the distribution of serial intervals for 468 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease reported in China as of February 8, 2020. The mean interval was 3.96 days (95% CI 3.53–4.39 days), SD 4.75 days (95% CI 4.46–5.07 days); 12.6% of case reports

Nonparametric serial interval estimation with uniform mixtures. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyThe serial interval of an infectious disease is a key instrument to understand transmission dynamics. Estimation of the serial interval distribution from illness onset data extracted from transmission pairs is challenging due to the presence of censoring

Serial interspike interval correlations of excitable neurons with memory [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2009 Many theoretical studies of spiking neurons rely on thesimplifying renewal assumption, meaning that interspikeintervals (ISIs) of a spike train are statistically independ-ent. Experimental measurements of serial ISI correlationshave revealed, however, that the renewal assumption isviolated in various systems.

Estimates of Serial Interval and Reproduction Number of Sudan Virus, Uganda, August–November 2022 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 We estimated the mean serial interval for Sudan virus in Uganda to be 11.7 days (95 CI% 8.2–15.8 days). Estimates for the 2022 outbreak indicate a mean basic reproduction number of 2.4–2.7 (95% CI 1.7–3.5).

A new method for the joint estimation of instantaneous reproductive number and serial interval during epidemics. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Although some methods for estimating the instantaneous reproductive number during epidemics have been developed, the existing frameworks usually require information on the distribution of the serial interval and/or additional contact tracing data ...

Estimates of serial interval for COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health, 2021 Background: On 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as Pandemic. The estimation of transmission dynamics in the initial days of the outbreak of any infectious disease is crucial to control its spread in a new area.
