Rapid review and meta-analysis of serial intervals for SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background The serial interval is the period of time between symptom onset in the primary case and symptom onset in the secondary case. Understanding the serial interval is important for determining transmission dynamics of infectious diseases like COVID-

Theory for serial correlations of interevent intervals [PDF]

The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2010
We consider stochastic systems with m internal states in which discrete events (e.g. hopping events between metastable states or firing events of neurons) occur at a state-dependent rate. Transitions between states are possible with certain fixed rates.

Serial Intervals of Respiratory Infectious Diseases: A Systematic Review and Analysis [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2014
The serial interval of an infectious disease represents the duration between symptom onset of a primary case and symptom onset of its secondary cases. A good evidence base for such values is essential, because they allow investigators to identify epidemiologic links between cases and serve as an important parameter in epidemic transmission models used ...

Serial Interval and Generation Interval for Imported and Local Infectors, Respectively, Estimated Using Reported Contact-Tracing Data of COVID-19 in China

Frontiers in Public Health, 2021
The emerging virus, COVID-19, has caused a massive outbreak worldwide. Based on the publicly available contact-tracing data, we identified 509 transmission chains from 20 provinces in China and estimated the serial interval (SI) and generation interval ...

Lifetime Risks, Incubation Period, and Serial Interval of Tuberculosis [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2000
The lifetime risk of developing disease, the incubation period, and the time period between infection and transmission (the serial interval) are three important measures for interpreting trends in tuberculous infection and disease but are complicated by strong age dependencies regarding disease risk and by the potential for reinfection to occur.

Shrinkage in serial intervals across transmission generations of COVID-19

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2021
One of the key epidemiological characteristics that shape the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the serial interval (SI). Although SI is commonly considered following a probability distribution at a population scale, recent studies reported a slight shrinkage (or contraction) of the mean of effective SI across transmission ...

Serial intervals and incubation periods of the monkeypox virus clades

Journal of Travel Medicine, 2022
Estimating serial interval (SI) and incubation period (IP) is necessary to interpret transmission trends and optimize contact tracing and isolation measures. We conducted a systematic review to synthesize the evidence for serial interval and incubation period of the monkeypox virus and further estimated the SI and IP of each clade.

Genomic epidemiology offers high resolution estimates of serial intervals for COVID-19

Nature Communications, 2023
Serial intervals – the time between symptom onset in infector and infectee – are a fundamental quantity in infectious disease control. However, their estimation requires knowledge of individuals’ exposures, typically obtained through resource-intensive ...

Super-spreading social events for COVID-19 transmission: evidence from the investigation of six early clusters in Bahrain

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
IntroductionThis study aimed to characterize six early clusters of COVID-19 and derive key transmission parameters from confirmed cases that were traced between April and June 2020 in Bahrain.MethodsPairs of “infector-infectee” allowed us to map the ...
