serial interval

COVID-19 GBK English to French Medical Medical (general)
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 sentences:
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)

interval sériel

Definition from Pubmed:
L'intervalle sériel d'une maladie infectieuse représente la durée entre l'apparition des symptômes d'un cas primaire et l'apparition des symptômes de ses cas secondaires.
Example sentences:
Transmission de COVID-19 : Un intervalle sériel de 4 jours seulement (santelog)
L’intervalle sériel explore une autre dimension de la transmission, à savoir la rapidité de survenue des cas résultant du contact avec une personne infectieuse (figure 4). Ainsi, pour un R0 aux environs de 3, et un intervalle sériel d’environ 6 à 9 jours pour une maladie donnée et de 2 à 4 jours pour une autre, le nombre de cas secondaires pour une période de 9 jours sera en moyenne de 3 pour la première alors qu’il sera de 3 + 32 (9) + 33 (27) = 39 pour la deuxième.

Merci Bertrand
agree Karen ROLLAND : You should probably change the translation to "Intervalle sériel"in the title too, it may lead to confusion and errors
