Estimation of the Serial Interval of Influenza [PDF]
Epidemiology, 2009 : 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. We estimate the serial interval of laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission in households.: Index

Dynamic characteristics of a COVID-19 outbreak in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China
Frontiers in Public Health, 2022 ObjectivesSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineage B.1.617.2 (also named the Delta variant) was declared as a variant of concern by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Estimation of the basic reproductive number and mean serial interval of a novel pathogen in a small, well-observed discrete population [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND:Accurately assessing the transmissibility and serial interval of a novel human pathogen is public health priority so that the timing and required strength of interventions may be determined.

Serial Intervals for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta Variants, Belgium, November 19–December 31, 2021
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We investigated the serial interval for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and Delta variants and observed a shorter serial interval for Omicron, suggesting faster transmission.

Effects of interrun interval on serial learning [PDF]
Animal Learning & Behavior, 1985 Two groups of five rats each received a decreasing quantity of food reward, 14-7-3-1-0 .045-g food pellets, over successive runs in a runway. The interrun interval (IRI) separating runs within each of two daily pattern repetitions (trials) was 10 sec (short, S) or 4–5 min (long, L) and varied over four successive phases of training in the order ...

Serial pattern learning of temporal intervals [PDF]
Animal Learning & Behavior, 1998 The problem was to determine how rats adjust the times of their lever responses to repeating sequences of interfood intervals. In Experiment 1, rats were trained on an interval schedule of reinforcement with a 12-element Fleshler-Hoffman series with a mean of 60 sec; the order was as follows: ascending, random with repetition, random with replacement ...

Serial intervals in SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 variant cases [PDF]
The Lancet, 2021 The SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.617.2, also known as the delta variant, was declared a variant of concern by WHO on the basis of preliminary evidence suggesting faster spread relative to other circulating variants. However, the epidemiological factors contributing to this difference remain unclear. In particular, an increase in observed growth rate of COVID-

An update of serial interval estimates for COVID-19: a meta-analysis
4 open, 2022 Background: Serial interval (SI) is one of the most important parameter for COVID-19 modelling purposes as it is related to the reproduction rate of the infection.

The importance of timely contact tracing — A simulation study
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Background: While the role of contact tracing in the containment of the COVID-19 epidemic remains important until vaccines are widely available, literature on objectively measurable indicators for the effectiveness of contact tracing is scarce.
